The Portuguese has recently been unveiled as the Fenerbahce boss to much fanfare from the supporters of the Istanbul-based club.
It was unclear what exactly Ferguson and Mourinho were discussing ahead of the game, but could Manchester United have been on the agenda?
Erik ten Hag is remaining at Old Trafford after the club decided he was the right man to take them forward after a review process.
The Premier League giants have thrown their weight behind the Dutchman and are discussing a new contract, despite sounding out potential candidates after an underwhelming season at Old Trafford which saw his side finish eighth.
