Mourinho is feeling the pressure at Old Trafford as reports swirl as to whether he will remain in a job after the weekend.
Many were predicting that the Portuguese coach would be relieved of his duties should Newcastlebeat the Red Devils this evening.
But the Daily Mirror yesterday reported that regardless of the result this weekend, Mourinho would be shown the door.
However, according to BBC News' Sport Editor Dan Roan, the 55-year-old has now been assured of his Manchester United future after clear the air talks with United chiefs in London.
Roan tweeted this morning: "My understanding is that Mourinho is not in any imminent danger.
"There was a meeting in London yesterday between Utd & the manager’s camp, but they were told he’ll be given time to turn things around.
"Newcastle match could obviously change things, but that’s current situation."
Sky Sports also reported this morning that United chiefs have dismissed the sacking claims as 'nonsense'.
Mourinho reportedly demanded the club publicly back him after the Mirror's damning report broke on Friday.
The embattled coach addressed the media on Friday morning but only took five short questions in a press conference that lasted just over three minutes.
Gary Neville, however, spoke in depth about the situation at United last night, launching a blistering attack on his former side.
“I think of Louis van Gaal being sacked the day before a cup final and finding out from other people,” he told Sky Sports.
It's unacceptable, and I have to say that Jose Mourinho will get the biggest support he's ever had in his life tomorrow
I think about how the club is being operated.
"If this is true, we don't know if it's true, but if this is true, and Jose Mourinho is going to walk out at Old Trafford tomorrow almost like a dead man walking, those fans will absolutely turn towards that boardroom.
“It's unacceptable, and I have to say that Jose Mourinho will get the biggest support he's ever had in his life tomorrow in that ground. And I'll be there to give it to him."
