Chelsea manager Antonio Conte surprised all by starting the duo of Willian and Michy ahead of Hazard and Costa in the big FA Cup semi final game against Tottenham on Saturday.
However, the Brazilian justified Conte’s decision by scoring twice in the first half to contribute to his side’s ability to defeat Spurs and move ahead into the FA Cup final.
Willian has been linked with a move to Manchester United in recent times, and despite how impressive Hazard has been this season, Conte decides starting the Samba star ahead of the Belgian star.
Manchester United fans wants Willian to come join them at Old Trafford next season following his display in the game.
Willian scored a well taken free-kick after just five minutes and also scored from the spot before the first half ended. But he was substituted on 61 minutes with the scoreline being 2-2, but goals from Eden and Nemanja deep into the second half gave Chelsea the win.
The 28-year-old has scored ten times this season, but has not been a regular starter under the new Italian boss.
And it was reported that Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho is showing interest in Willian – who worked with him while in Chelsea.
The Portuguese coach will obviously spend lots of money to bring in new legs to add strength to his squad when the summer transfer window comes. And Man United fans took to social media to appeal with Mourinho to offer a deal to Willian.

Willian is far too good to be a non starter for Chelsea. I'd have him tomorrow at United. Hopefully Jose can have a chat with him!
