The 18-year-old has surprised chiefs at the Ligue 1 club, stepping into the shoes of Issa Diop, who left for West Ham over the summer.
Todibo’s performances in the Toulouse first-team mean he is now being eyed by Premier League and European outfits.
And according to Tuttosport, Manchester United and Juventus have now joined the race for the youngster.
Todibo is in the final year of his youth contract – and recent interest has made senior contract talks stall as the centre-back considers his options.
Reports in France last week suggested Liverpool and Wolves were both in the race for the youngster.
However, United have now emerged as Mourinho looks to strengthen his back line.
The Portuguese coach was desperate to bring in defensive recruits over the summer to no avail.
Todibo has enjoyed a meteoric rise in his Toulouse spell.
But as a child, the Frenchman almost saw his footballing career ended after being in a car crash.
“It was May 24, I was nine at the time,” Todibo told La Depeche.
“I was leaving my house to go to judo, I crossed the road and a car knocked me down. It turned into a big accident.
“I had an injury on both my leg bones and down to the ankle, and there were several fractures.”
His coach at the time, Dylan Greneche was overseeing his progress at Les Lilas.
“We weren’t really sure if he’d ever play football again,” he admitted.
“He’s a young player who has always had a lot of tenacity, and he proved it at that time, despite his young age.”
