Reports have claimed United players are turning on Mourinho amid their turbulent start to the new Premier League season.
But the 55-year-old praised his players for their attitude after the Tottenham loss.
He said: "We work all week, and by the strategic point of view we didn't lose, by the tactical point of view we didn't lose, but we lost the game.
“We work very, very well during the week, we prepared the game very well, we played very well, the players had a fantastic attitude."
