Manchester United have entered the fray to sign Chelsea's Willian, who is out of contract at Stamford Bridge and set to leave at the end of the 2019/20 season.
According to Express UK, citing sources in France, the Red Devils have already made contact with Willian's representatives over a potential summer deal.
Willian, 31, has been linked with several Premier League teams, including Arsenal and Tottenham, with a reunion with Jose Mourinho widely mooted.
However, United's interest in the Brazilian could provide an alternative option for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has Dortmund star Jadon Sancho top on his transfer wishlist.
Willian's agent recently revealed talks over an extension with Chelsea have hit an impasse, leaving the door open for other teams to make a move.
With the transfer window set to open soon, it remains to be seen whether United will be able to secure Willian's signature.
