The midfielder missed out on the Red Devils' first Premier League match of the season due to a suspension carried over from his time at Juventus, while a lack of pre-season training had also cast doubts.
However, Mourinho revealed that the Frenchman is nearing full fitness and is likely to feature against the Saints.
“We played against Leicester with players with less training than him and we saw that match as a way to improve them and accelerate the process," the Portuguese told MUTV.
“With Paul it’s a bit the same – he hasn't played in one single minute of any pre-season matches but has done almost two weeks of work with us, sometimes with the group, sometimes separately, and he is okay now to play some minutes.”
The Red Devils' Old Trafford clash with Southampton kicks off at 2000 UK on Friday.
