#2 United step up Willian pursuit

A despaired Willian after Brazil's elimination

Brazil might have been knocked out of the World Cup but Willian had a decent tournament – especially against Mexico. The Chelsea winger ran riot against the Mexicans and set up the first goal for Neymar to score.

While Duncan Castles may have claimed that he is not willing to do what is required to secure a move to the Old Trafford, The Sun seems to think otherwise as they claim that Manchester United are set to step up in their pursuit for the Brazilian winger.

Willian, for whom Chelsea reportedly want £70 million, had previously vowed to focus on Brazil’s campaign over securing his future at club level but now that the World Cup is over for Brazil, he could push for a move to reunite with Jose Mourinho, who he worked with at Chelsea.
