Marca had previously reported, in February, that the Portuguese tactician will replace Louis Van Gaal at the end of the season.
On Thursday, the Spanish publication again insisted that Mourinho is soon to be unveiled as United's next boss, and he apparently has his eye on a Valencia midfielder.
The former Chelsea boss is said to want to sign Andre Gomes from the struggling La Liga side. The 22-year-old is a client of Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes, and the coach believes the player will soon become hot property.
It has also been suggested that the former Real Madrid mentor will be in charge of United by the end of the season.
The Manchester Evening News believes that the date of United's annual Player of the Year awards, 2 May, is big indication of this. Usually, the awards dinner would only take place after the last or second last game of the season, but with the event being held earlier than usual this campaign, the Manchester-based publication expects the Portuguese to be announced at the gala next week.
It is yet to be seen whether Van Gaal will be relieved of his duties, though, as his side are still in contention for a top four spot, and have an FA Cup final to look forward to.
