Manchester United 'make contact with Willian's representatives as they eye free transfer summer swoop for Chelsea's out-of-contract midfielder'

Manchester United have reportedly been in contact with Willian’s representatives to discuss signing the Chelsea forward on a free transfer.

The 31-year-old's future is up in the air as his current deal expires on June 30 and the Blues are reluctant to grant his request for a three-year deal to stay.

The Brazil international is even hesitant to sign a short-term contract so he can play out the rest of Chelsea’s Premier League games this season amid concerns he could suffer an injury which hinder a move.

According to France Football, Manchester United have now contacted the player and his agent, Kia Joorabchian, to register their interest.
