Umtiti, who has a £50m release clause, is regarded highly by Mourinho and several other top clubs across Europe.
Jose wants him to be a pivotal part of the United squad, as he is still not convinced by the rest of the defenders.
Reports state that a bunch of Red Devils are set to be offloaded in the summer in order to recruit some fresh faces.
Despite certain reports of Shaw being a target for the Catalan club, it is unknown whether the La Liga giants will actually accept such offer.
The talented youngster, who joined United in 2014, has a long future ahead of him, and could provide stiff competition for Jordi Alba at left-back.
