He said: "We're talking about it [a new contract]".
Inter Milan are close to making Nice defender Dalbert their first major signing of the summer, but sporting director Piero Ausilio has said his arrival would not mean the departures of Ivan Perisic or Antonio Candreva.
After completing the signings of Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof, United fans will be wondering if their summer spending is already over.
Lat week, Inter's manager Spalletti stated that they would be willing to consider offers from United, but only if they could find a suitable replacement for Perisic. He is an Italy International and he only arrived one year ago.
United have been heavily linked with the Croatian winger all summer, however, the Daily Mail reports that the Italian giants have no intentions of selling Perisic.
Chelsea are interested in signing Candreva and adding depth to their squad, a factor that will be much more significant in Chelsea's success in the upcoming season as they now have Champions League to deal with as well as being focused on the Premier League.
UNITED look set to lose out in their pursuit of Ivan Perisic.
The Ivory Coast global was once regarded as one of the most exciting young right-backs in Europe so the 24-year-old would offer a long-term replacement for Antonio Valencia if United snapped him up this summer.
Perisic would have made the United attack, so often lacking previous year, that much more potent, but it does look like Mourinho will now have to look elsewhere if he wants more reinforcements.
