Chelsea's Willian staying at Stamford Bridge despite Man United links

This is a modal window.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in Chelsea's Willian, but where exactly does he fit into Mourinho's squad?

Willian has told the Evening Standard he will be a Chelsea player next season despite reports suggesting he could be reunited with former manager Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.

Brazil international Willian has been frustrated by a lack of regular first-team football since losing his starting place to Pedro Rodriguez in October, when he was granted compassionate leave after his mother's death.

Mourinho admires Willian and is reported to have kept in contact with him, fuelling reports that he could make an offer to take the 28-year-old to Old Trafford in the summer.
