"Obviously, definitely I want him to stay," Mikel, who has featured in 11 games for Hiddink after falling out of favour under Mourinho, told British media.
"It is the choice of the owner, the club and the board... but if you speak to the players, 98 or 99 percent of them want him to stay."
Hiddink, 69, said on Friday that he would leave as planned after the current campaign but Mikel feels there is a chance he may stay on.
"It depends on the board and it depends on Guus if he wants to continue. He has said that he is here until the end of the season but you never know, he might change his mind," the 28-year-old Nigerian added.
"If the club want to appoint him, fair enough. His record speaks for itself."
