Mourinho set to raid former club Chelsea in January 2017

Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho is now set to raid his former club Chelsea as the Portuguese gaffer was reported to be interested in luring forward Willian to Old Trafford. The 28-year-old Brazilian star has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of new manager Antonio Conte who has given the player limited playing time.

Before Jose Mourinho was axed at Chelsea, the Portuguese man was an admirer of the Brazilian star as he netted seven times last season for the Blues.

Willian who was Chelsea's player of the year for last season has not started in the premier League since the Blues' 2-0 victory at Hull City on October 1, 2016. It was also said that the death of his mother also restricted his chances to play for Chelsea who are currently topping the premier League table with 31 points after 13 games.
