BBC's Simon Stone has tweeted that while five clubs have expressed an interest in the 19-year-old on loan - boss Mourinho wants him to stay at Old Trafford.
Mourinho is preparing his United side for their EFL Cup semi-final second leg tonight, in which they lead 2-0 from the first leg.
Should United win, the final takes place on February 26, the date United were originally set to face rivals City in the Premier League.
Mourinho said: "I know that it's going to be hard if we go step by step. The match against Manchester City I'm sure they will choose an amazing moment, difficult for us, to make us play against them.
"Then we have Europa League, a non-stop competition. In the Europa League you have to play last 32 and last 16. If we are going to progress it's going to be really difficult."
