The ex-Chelsea manager agreed a three-year contract worth £60million to become Old Trafford boss on Tuesday.
But negotiations over image rights are still ongoing and must be resolved before the contract can be signed, reports Sky Sports.
It is unclear whether these issues will be decided in time for Mourinho, 53, to put pen to paper on Wednesday.
Mourinho’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is not in London to hold face-to-face talks with United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, meaning an official deal may be stalled.
