Manchester United are reportedly willing to pay Chelsea's asking price for Willian, who is also attracting interest from Barcelona.

Manchester United have reportedly indicated that they are willing to meet Chelsea's demands for midfielder Willian.

The Brazil international has enjoyed a successful five-year spell at Stamford Bridge, but the playmaker is allegedly keen on securing a move to Barcelona this summer.

However, it has been suggested that the Catalan giants are unwilling to pay Chelsea's asking price of £62m, and according to Mundo Deportivo, United are ready to swoop for the 29-year-old.

Jose Mourinho is an admirer of a player who he has previously worked with during his time at Chelsea, and is keen for United to commit to adding more creativity in the final third.

United's efforts could be aided by Barcelona showing an interest in Willian's compatriot Malcom, who had been expected to leave Bordeaux for Roma.
