The 16-year-old is considered as one of the best young talents in Brazilian football and he has been touted to move to Europe soon.

He won't be allowed to leave Brazil until the age of 18, but clubs are already lining up to land his signature at the earliest chance.

United are one of those competing for his services, but they face a tough task of luring him due to his preference of joining Barcelona.

Willian has already expressed his ambition to the hierarchy at Palmeiras and it is quite clear that he does not want to go elsewhere.

Palmeiras are expected to respect the stance of their wonderkid and will wait for the La Liga giants to make an approach for him.

If there is no proposal on the table, they could start discussing with other clubs including United. Willian has a €60m release clause in his deal.
