Manchester United will launch a last-ditch bid to land Jose Mourinho’s top target Willian.
Mourinho is set on beating Barcelona to the punch for the Brazilian attacker before the transfer window shuts on Thursday.
Mourinho has lost patience with French striker Anthony Martial and will offer him in return for Willian.
Both are valued at £75million – and both want to leave their clubs for a fresh challenge.
Willian, 29, has been on Mourinho’s radar ever since the Portuguese took charge at United, and the Brazilian’s recent problems at Chelsea have encouraged his former Stamford Bridge boss that a deal can be done.
