Baker appeared in a list provided by the Manchester United boss at his unveiling press conference in the summer when he was appointed at Old Trafford.
Mourinho was prepared at the press conference and claimed to have “promoted 49 youth players from academies” in an answer to critics who have said that he does not give young players a chance.
Baker played one game for Mourinho, in which he played three minutes in a 2-0 FA Cup third-round victory over Derby County, back in 2014.
