"There will not be massive changes," said Mourinho.
"First of all, because that is not what we need.
"Secondly, because that is not the profile of the club, and thirdly because of what the market is.
"Year after year after year it's more difficult, so I'm not thinking about an overhaul at the moment. But of course, we need to make our squad better."

Tottenham spent more than £50million in the January transfer window this season.
They signed Steven Bergwijn for £27m from PSV Eindhoven, as well as confirming the transfer of Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis, for £29m.
Tottenham are also poised to complete the signing Gedson Fernandes from Benfica, after he arrived on loan in January.
Chairman Daniel Levy has now spent more than £80m net since the end of last season, after breaking the club's transfer record to buy Tanguy Ndombele, in a £54m deal.

Kane was injured against Southampton on New Year's Day, and he's unlikely to return to action for another couple of months.
Mourinho was forced into playing South Korea international Son as the club's centre-forward in Kane's absence.
But Son fractured his arm in the 3-2 win over Aston Villa last month, and he's not expected to return this season.
The manager has since been forced into playing either Lucas Moura, Bergwijn, or Dele Alli as a striker, with the only option being youngster Troy Parrott.
