It is understood the Sweden international's agent Mino Raiola has struck an agreement with United over his client's salary and length of contract.
The 34-year-old is keen on the move but wants assurances from new Manchester United manager Mourinho that he will play a major role at Old Trafford if he joins. Any sort of back-up role would not satisfy the former Barcelona, Inter Milan and PSG player.
Manchester United already have Wayne Rooney, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial vying for a place in the side, plus youngster James Wilson will be available again following his loan spell at Brighton.
Ibrahimovic, a free agent following the expiry of his contract at PSG, is not short of offers with Tottenham a potential destination should he have his heart set on a move to the Premier League.
