The Brazil international was one of Mourinho’s first signings at Old Trafford after joining the club in a £52million deal from Shakhtar Donetsk.
The 30-year-old has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford and is among the clutch of players who could be sold this summer as United seek to raise additional transfer funds for Erik ten Hag.
The Sun report Mourinho is keen on a reunion with Fred in the Italian capital, having remained a big fan of his from their time together in Manchester.
The Portuguese is said to be keen to inject some energy into his aging midfield, viewing the United star as an ideal addition this summer.
Fulham are also interested in signing Fred, with manager Marco Silva seen pulling the Brazilian aside for a chat outside Old Trafford on the final day of the season.
United have demanded £20million for the Cottagers for the player, a fee Fulham view as prohibitive.
Speaking on his future at the end of the season, Fred said: I have to talk with my family, I still have one year left in my contract here.
‘Now it’s holidays’ time and a good opportunity to rest.
‘I’ll talk to my staff, to the club and see what is everyone’s decision. I do have to talk with Ten Hag as well, he’s the manager and the conversation has to involve everyone.
‘We have to see how next season will plan out. I want to be important, I want to help the team, so we’ll see. But I’ve always been and still am very happy at Manchester United.
‘Of course, I always want to be playing, to be helping my team and gladly I started and I think we played well.’
Scott McTominay is another player who United could cash in on this summer but ten Hag is said to be reluctant to lose both the Scot and Fred in the same summer.
