Jose Mourinho will try to sign Willian as part of any deal that could see Anthony Martial join Chelsea.
The Mirror reports that Mourinho wants to bring the Brazilian, who was a favourite during his time at Chelsea, to Old Trafford this summer.
Chelsea have been linked with a move for Anthony Marital with the Frenchman out of favour under Mourinho at United.
Martial looks set to leave United, but the player is also attracting interest from Juventus, Arsenal and Tottenham.
United have become frustrated with the player’s development and feel he is being left behind at the club.
Willian has been a regular at Chelsea since joining the club and has played a key role in recent seasons.
The Brazilian is due to turn 30 at the beginning of August and the club may consider a deal to move him on in return for a younger, promising talent in the form of Martial.
