The Portuguese manager has since been linked with some top jobs in Europe such as Bayern Munich, Tottenham and even Arsenal.
Jose Mourinho signed lindelof for Manchester United from Benfica for £31 million ($40m) in the summer of 2017 and he has since become a regular fixture in United's starting line up.
However, Lindelof is eager to see Mourinho return to management at the highest level sooner rather than later, insisting his old mentor is still "one of the world's best coaches".
"He is, after all, one of the world’s best coaches and he is supposed to have a job at one of the biggest clubs. I miss him in football," Lindelof told Aftonbladet.
"He’s a great coach and a great person, whom I owe a great deal. It was he who gave me the chance here,who brought me into everything.
"I have all the respect in the world for him and appreciate everything he has said and done for me, from scolding to a hug.
"Even if I did not agree, at the time…he has very great charisma, you had great respect for him. He’s won everything. When he says something, you listen."
Lindelof has been a key member of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad at the start of 2019-20 campaign, forging a formidable partnership at the back with summer signing Harry Maguire.
The Sweden international has made 13 appearances across all competitions, helping the Red Devils advance to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup and the Europa League knockout stages.
United have, however, endured their worst start to a Premier League season in 33 years, with nine points separating Solskjaer's outfit and fourth-place Manchester City in the table after just 12 fixtures.
