United have lost to Tottenham and Derby in the Carabao Cup, while drawing with Valencia and Wolves, ahead of Saturday’s game at home to Newcastle United.
The club have only failed to win in five games home and away once since 1999.
Mourinho was asked if emulating that record would not be good enough.
“I accept,” he replied during a terse early morning press conference at Carrington.
The United manager was asked why things are not working out during a difficult season.
“For many reasons,” he replied before refusing to elaborate.
