The Reds boss is widely believed to want to reinforce his defence with fitness and quality issues meaning United have been less than convincing at the back so far this season.
And the Portuguese has a number of players - particularly in midfield - surplus to requirements with the likes of Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Marouane Fellaini finding opportunities difficult to come by.
Established big names Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial have also been the subject of transfer speculation with the club captain linked with moves to former club Everton and China and the US, while the French attacker has reportedly caught the eye of PSG.
Schweinsteiger is the bookies' favourite to leave United - either permanently or on loan - with Betfred offering odds of 1/7 on his departure.
Memphis Depay - linked with a move to Everton - is also odds-on to leave at 1/2.
Another unsettled Louis van Gaal signing, Matteo Darmian is 6/4 to leave with Inter Milan and Juventus in his home country said to be interested.
Schneiderlin , who has barely featured under Mourinho, and Fellaini - who blotted his copybook by conceding a late and critical penalty in the draw against Everton last weekend - are both 2/1 to go.
And Marcos Rojo , despite his recent run in the starting line-up, is also rated at 2/1 to be on his way.
Outside the top six, a number of other players also come in at shorter than 10/1.
A trio are 8/1 to leave in January, with Martial , Rooney and Daley Blind , also recently a regular on the bench, handed the same odds.
The bookies view another pair of currently-injured defenders, Luke Shaw and Chris Smalling , as less likey to depart. They are 12/1 to go during the upcoming window.
A Betfred spokesman said: "It is highly likely there will be more comings and goings at United than any other Premier League club as Mourinho looks to make an impression after a difficult start at United."
