Jose Mourinho is on the lookout for one more signing before the transfer window closes at 11pm tonight and he has made an audacious move for the Chelsea winger.

The Sun claim the Red Devils have tabled an audacious bid in the hope Chelsea are willing to sell.

United would need to offer aroudn £35m for Chelsea to even consider doing business.

Mourinho is a long-term admirer of the Brazilian and has tried to reunite with him on numerous occasions.

Mourinho won the title with Willian during his time at Stamford Bridge and he believes the Chelsea winger is the final piece to his puzzle.

Manchester United have made a deadline day bid for Willian

The United boss has always said he wanted four players during the window and having signed Romelu Lukaku, Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic, Willian is the wide player he desperately craves.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has also recently signed one-year deal with the club but is not expected to return until the new year.

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea are willing to sanction Willian’s exit.

Antonio Conte has already voiced concerns about a lack of depth in his squad and parting with the 29-year-old so close to the 11pm deadline would leave him with little time to find a replacement.
