According to Italian news media outlet, Tuttosport, Willian is set to become United’s fourth signing of the summer after an agreement between the Premier League rivals was agreed.
But Tuttosport also surprisingly reported Mourinho wants to bring his former Blues defender Cahill to Old Trafford this summer.
The England international is the shock new name to be linked with a move to Old Trafford as the club’s search for a new centre-back continues.
Toby Alderweireld of Tottenham and Leicester’s Harry Maguire remain the top two other targets for United this summer.
Spurs are believed to have placed a £55m price tag for the Belgian star, while the Foxes are demanding a figure in excess of £60m for their England World Cup star.

Tuttosport claim Mourinho is opting for the Chelsea veteran as the deal for Maguire and Alderweireld have not been agreed.
Cahill played under the Portuguese coach during the Blues’ Premier League-winning campaign of 2015.
The ex-Bolton ace replaced John Terry as captain of the club last season but it remains to be seen whether he will figure prominently under new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Chelsea are reportedly frustrated holding onto their Willian after attempts to sign the midfielder have it the rocks.
The Spanish media outlet claim Chelsea are expected to sell the Brazil midfielder to Barcelona this week only for the club to break off talks to sign Bordeaux winger Malcom.
