Transfer report: Manchester United ‘confident’ of signing Chelsea ace Willian this summer

Manchester United are ‘confident’ of signing Brazilian forward Willian from Chelsea this summer, according to reports.

Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho failed with an attempt to land the Blues ace last summer, following talks with his representatives.

The former Chelsea boss remains keen on the 29-year-old, though, and is planning another bid for the Brazil international when the transfer window reopens.

And, according to The Sun, the club are confident they can wrap up a deal for Willian this time around.

The forward’s current contract at Stamford Bridge runs until 2020 and it is claimed the Blues would demand around £30million — the same price they paid to Shakhtar Donetsk five years ago.
