One of the most drawn-out transfer sagas of this summer has been Willian going to Manchester United and reuniting with his former boss Mourinho. Rumours began immediately following Chelsea's FA Cup final win on 19 May and haven't ceased in the subsequent months.

The Brazilian scored six Premier League goals whilst laying on seven assists despite only starting 20 games last season, and has been rumoured to be growing disgruntled at Stamford Bridge. He fuelled speculation of a move to Old Trafford recently when he stated compatriot Fred's move was to "one of the best teams in the world."

Chelsea's Players' Player of the Year may well be seeking an exit as star players Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois are consistently linked with moves to Real Madrid.

Willian's tireless work-rate, pragmatism and creativity is something Mourinho wants in his squad and he knows he'd get it from his former player even though it may cost him £70m.
