Manchester United are set to rekindle their interest in Chelsea midfielder Willian after making some enquiries about the player last month, according to the Daily Mail.
Willian has been superb for Chelsea of late scoring four goals in his last three games which included the opener in United’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea at the weekend.
He has failed to nail down a regular starting position under Antonio Conte this season which has caused concerns amongst the Chelsea ranks that they may lose him due to him wanting a consistent amount of game time.
The former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been a long-term admirer of the player and was the manager who signed him when the pair were at Chelsea and they struck a brilliant relationship at the time.
Chelsea allowed Nemanja Matic to join their bitter rivals United last summer so will be very cautious about doing something similar but if the price is right it could well happen.
Mourinho heaped the praise on Willian:
Do you want to talk about Willian? Top, cream of the crop, he’s amazing.
