The former Chelsea manager is the favorite to replace Van Gaal at United if the Dutchman would be shown the exit door at Old Trafford.
However German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, has reported that the Portuguese has agreed to take over at United season, agreeing a three year deal that will run till 2019.
Mourinho was sacked as Chelsea manager late in 2015, and has since been linked to replace his former boss.
According to the report: "Mourinho has signed until
2019. It lacks only the confirmation of the English club."
United have kept mute on the news and rumors linking Mourinho to the Theatre of Dreams, which has further heightened believe that the United hierarchy may be considering a move for the Portuguese, or that a deal has been reached.
United have endured a frustrating season so far, though the team is still in line for a silverware this season, with the FA Cup in sight.
United are however out of the Champions League qualifying spots and only have the minutest hopes of making the competition next season. This and the way Van Gaal has managed the team is why fans, ex-players and the media want Van Gaal out of United.
