Manchester United have made an approach to sign Willian


Manchester United have reportedly made an early move to sign Chelsea forward Willian in the January transfer window. Willian, 29, has scored 36 goals in 206 appearances for the Blues since his arrival back in 2013 but the Brazilian has consistently been linked with a move to Old Trafford since Jose Mourinho took over the reins with the Red Devils.

The pair won a Premier League title and a League Cup during their time together at Stamford Bridge and Mourinho is desperate to be reunited with his former player. According to The Daily Mail, the Red Devils have made an inquiry over signing the Brazil international in the new year, but Antonio Conte’s champions are reluctant to sell. Mourinho is ready to listen to offers for Henrikh Mkhitaryan in January and is scouring the market for the Armenian’s replacement at Old Trafford.

Willian, who is also on Barcelona’s radar in the lead-up to January, told Chelsea fans not to worry about his future earlier this week. Asked about the recent speculation, he said: ‘The fans can be calm. ‘I am a Chelsea player and I am very pleased with the way I have been playing in recent weeks.

Paul Pogba has come in for criticism from Liverpool legend and pundit Graeme Souness  Graeme Souness has launched a scathing attack on  Paul Pogba  and believes the   Manchester United  man lacks the nous to become a world-class central midfielder. The  France star  has been pivotal in United's recent resurgence after returning from a hamstring injury last month and impressed in the 3-1 win over Arsenal at the weekend before he was sent off. But it appears the Liverpool legend is not convinced that Pogba possesses the necessary defensive qualities to master the position. Souness told Irish broadcaster  TV3  during the 2-1 win over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night: 'When he is on the ball, there are lots of things to admire. He's powerful, he's got the good technique, he can wrong foot people, he can ping the ball. 'This isn't me being an ex-Liverpool player caning a Man United player. I thought the same when he was a Juventus p...

Jose Mourinho forced Mark Clattenburg into retiring Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho forced Mark Clattenburg into quitting his role as a referee after criticising him in the Red Devils’ 1-1 draw with Stoke last season.

The 42-year-old has recently opened up about his decision, and also dropped major bombshells about Chelsea and Tottenham. And now, Clattenburg has revealed he made the call to quit refereeing because of Mourinho, who blasted him after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Stoke last term.

And Clattenburg says it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. "I was refereeing the game when Wayne Rooney broke Bobby Charlton's record and Mourinho came into my dressing room and he was ...
