Jose Mourinho on the other hand, was hoping to re-unite with his former player but United’s board were reluctant to give him funds.

However, the 29-year-old has come out from silence and has insisted that he is happy at Chelsea and is not thinking of leaving anytime soon.

‘I’m back to England,’ Willian told Brazilian TV show Esporte Espetacular.
