The Red Devils have been linked with the likes of Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann, among others, and, according to the Daily Mirror, Mourinho has a new defensive target.
Atletico Madrid centre back Jose Gimenez is said to be the latest name on the former Chelsea boss' wish list, but it is believed that United would have to spend £56 million (R930 million) to activate his release clause.
The 21-year-old has established himself as a regular under Diego Simeone, and is tipped to become one of Europe's leading defenders.
Gimenez also possesses great strength and composure on the ball, two characteristics Mourinho is known to prefer his defenders to have.
