**The sight of Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager has hit the Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern hard, though events at Old Trafford could be about to get a lot worse.**

While the West London punters yesterday laughed off [reports](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/7175033/Jose-Mourinho-wants-to-pay-60million-for-reunion-with-Willian-at-Manchester-United-after-Chelsea-ace-praised-former-boss.html) the self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ could make a stunning move for Blues star Willian, suggestions from the [Daily Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/26/chelsea-could-cash-in-on-oscar-as-antonio-conte-aims-to-break-up/) may have added some weight to the previously pie-in-the-sky rumours.

They [claim](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/26/chelsea-could-cash-in-on-oscar-as-antonio-conte-aims-to-break-up/) that the Brazilian has grown disgruntled with life at Stamford Bridge due to the fact his salary is around half that of teammate Eden Hazard’s.

The 27-year old was in stunning form this season and one of the few bright spots in a dreadful campaign, in which the club meekly surrendered their Premier League title.

While suggesting his [reported](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/26/chelsea-could-cash-in-on-oscar-as-antonio-conte-aims-to-break-up/) £85k per week has the *Seleaco* samba star in dire straits is ridiculous, [clearly](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/26/chelsea-could-cash-in-on-oscar-as-antonio-conte-aims-to-break-up/) he believes he is worth on par to the perhaps bigger names in the squad after some stunning individual performances.

These revelations come just a day after [the Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/7175033/Jose-Mourinho-wants-to-pay-60million-for-reunion-with-Willian-at-Manchester-United-after-Chelsea-ace-praised-former-boss.html) indicated Mourinho was willing to pay up to [£60m](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/7175033/Jose-Mourinho-wants-to-pay-60million-for-reunion-with-Willian-at-Manchester-United-after-Chelsea-ace-praised-former-boss.html) for his former Blues star now he is confirmed in his new role at the Theatre of Dreams.

**Should Chelsea hand Willian improved terms?**
