It's thought that Fred could be a replacement to Marouane Fellaini, with the Belgium worldwide becoming out of favour with Mourinho.
Mourinho had also been looking at Serbian worldwide Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, but the Italians' refusal to budge from their €100m asking price, despite missing out on the Champions League this season, has seen the Premier League side look elsewhere for midfield reinforcements.
Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred is reportedly close to becoming Manchester United's first signing of the summer.
Fred has played for Brazil seven times and is set to feature for his country in Russian Federation this summer.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United intend to wrap up a deal for the Brazilian before the World Cup gets underway in June.
The 25-year-old is expected to travel with the Brazilian national team for a friendly against Croatia at Anfield next week and United are aiming to finalise the transfer during his visit.

The defender was named in Belgium's World Cup squad earlier this months, despite only making six appearances for Spurs since returning from injury in January.
"I think I am strong on the field, I am versatile, I can play in several midfield positions".
Man United have had a tough season despite finishing runners-up in the league.
Manchester United's first signing of the summer? Fred has averaged at least 2.9 tackles per game in the season just gone.
It remains to be seen whether joining Jose Mourinho's side is a good idea, but one Portuguese coach most definitely made a positive influence on Fred.
