Transfer News 2018/19: 6 Major deals that should have happened

#5 Willian - Chelsea to Manchester United

Willian remains an integral part of Mourinho's plans

Widely regarded as one of the most hardworking, quick and technically gifted midfielders in the world, this Brazilian forward is a true force of fury. A maestro in terms of playmaking and goalscoring, the 30-year-old has been going strong every single season and every single game.

Combining himself with the likes of Eden Hazard, Diego Costa, and Ngolo Kante, the former Shakhtar winger managed to win two Premier League titles in quick successions. However, under Antonio Conte, with Hazard, Pedro, and Morata being the real attacking gears for their teams, Willian seemed to be spending more time on the bench and was seen coming on for either of these three forwards. It was time that this attacking marvel needed a switch.

Being a part of the current Manchester United roster would've helped him. As his role would've been more prominent under Jose Mourinho's guidelines. Playing in the spot of Jesse Lingard as the #10, this season Willian had the capability of delivering the much-needed experience to the current Manchester United lineup.

However, the new Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri had other plans, as he decided to use the Brazilian International in the upcoming games, putting all the transfer speculations in the grave, obliterating all hopes for Manchester United.
