Luke Shaw was stretched off after a collision with Spanish and Real Madrid Defender, Dani Calvajal at the Wembley Stadium where England was defeated 2-1.
There was doubt about Shaw's recovery but it is now a huge boost to United as the defender has recovered quickly before scheduled date of return.
Mourinho said at the Press Conference that the club doctor has confirmed the availability of the in-form defender from a medical point of view but Mourinho is not sure whether the United defender will not chosen to play at the left back as they (United) are prepared to face Watford.
"I don't know (if he will play)," Mourinho said.
"We still have a training session.
"Contrary to some news, by the protocol point of view and according to our doctor, he is free to play.
"The only situation we have to analyse is if we are going to play him when during the week he was not training with the team, or if, even so, we decide to play him."
Shaw struggled to nail down a starting place last season but he has returned stronger and more impressive like the Southampton's Shaw as he has played every minute of the first four games in United's 2018/2019 campaign.
United has won two games (Brighton and Tottenham) and lost two games (Leicester City and Burnley) before the International schedules as crisis looms at United.
United manager also gave an update on the rest of his team as they prepare to trade tackles with high flying Watford, who have won their first four straight games.
"Marouane Fellaini is a doubt, Ander Herrera is out. He had one little one problem in one ankle in training this week, so he is a doubt," Mourinho said.
"Diogo Dallot and Marcos Rojo play tonight with the under -23s. If they play the 90 minutes like we expect then it will be the end of their recovery process and we will consider them to be back next week for full competition."
