According to ESPN Brasil, as cited by Sambafoot, Chelsea winger Willian has expressed his admiration for former manager Jose Mourinho. The 29-year-old has been one of the major targets for Manchester United in the recent times and has been in the good books of their present gaffer.
He held nothing behind and claimed that the Portuguese manager is the “best” one he has ever worked under. Willian also admitted that the two are still in touch, which might revoke speculations about his possible arrival at the Old Trafford.
However, the player has said that he is not aware of any bid from the Red Devils and that he is set to stay with Chelsea for the next season. The Brazilian dazzler has attracted interest from a number of clubs this summer but he is sure that he is not leaving Stamford Bridge.
In the interview, Willian said, “I don’t know if there was any official bid [from Manchester United], but some things have happened.
“Mourinho is the best manager I’ve ever worked with. We have a good relationship, we are friends.
“Sometimes we talk, we text, we send messages to each other via WhatsApp. He is a great manager, I really enjoyed working with him. I hope I can work with him again someday.
“Also, everything comes out on the internet, too. But Mourinho talks to my agent all the time, he says ‘bring him, bring him’. He has never called me, but he always sends me text messages.”
