Man Utd tried to sign Chelsea star Willian

The Brazil international has admitted that Jose Mourinho's side made enquiries in the summer although maintains that he is happy at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea winger Willian has revealed that Manchester United made enquiries over signing him in the summer transfer window.

The Brazil international has been rotated frequently in the 2016-17 season, with Pedro often picked in his place, as was the case in the 3-1 win over Arsenal.

The 28-year-old was a key performer in Jose Mourinho's title-winning Chelsea team of two years ago, making 35 league appearances as the Blues were crowned champions.

And the now-United manager appears to have made attempts to take the winger to Old Trafford, with Willian explaining that enquiries were made in the summer.
