Chelsea winger Willian is reportedly the subject of interest from Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, according to The Daily Mail.

The Red Devils are interested in a deal to sign the Brazil international to improve their midfield options ahead of the new season starting next month.

The South American has attracted interest from Manchester United and Barcelona this summer after a disappointing end to last season under former head coach Antonio Conte.

The report adds that United are hoping to sign the 29-year-old forward after the Spanish champions Barcelona signed Bordeuax forward Malcom, since the arrival of 21-year-old attacker, a move to the Nou Camp now appears unlikely.

The 20-time English champions have signed Nemanja Matic in a £40m deal from Chelsea last summer to improve the squad in the middle of the park.
