Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has pulled back from plans of moving for Chelsea attacker Willian.

Mourinho is a huge fan of Willian, who impressed during the Portuguese's second spell at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazil international has lost his starting spot under Antonio Conte this season and the United boss wanted to capitalise.

However, Goal reports Willian will stay at Chelsea and Mourinho has cooled his interest.

They say the Old Trafford chief has opted against signing an attacking midfielder with United's quality in that area.
