In what would be a surprising move by the Portuguese, he is reportedly preparing a bid for Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey.
United have been linked with a number of midfielders including Paul Pogba and Dortmund's Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
According to the Sun, Mourinho is ready to turn to the Arsenal midfielder if he fails to land Mkhitaryan.
Mourinho could offer up to £35m for the Welshman who has been impressive at the ongoing European Championship.
A United bid for Ramsey will sure ignite the feud between Mourinho and Arsene Wenger. Both men were in charge of some of the most tense London derbies, and it will be interesting to see how Wenger reacts to a Mourinho bid for one of his star players.
According to the report, Mourinho believes Ramsey, 25 could have a similar effect to Frank Lampard in his new United setup.
Mkhitaryan remains United's top target.
The Dortmund playmaker has made it clear he wants to leave for United, but the club are not willing to sell. The player has one more year left on his current deal and the club is willing to take the risk if losing him for free next season.
United have reportedly submitted a £28m bid for the Dortmund player, and his agent has been optimistic about negotiating a United move.
Just in case Mkhitaryan's move to United doesn't happen,
Ramsey to United.
Do you see that happening?
