They are 13 points behind leaders Chelsea with one game until the halfway point in the season.
But they look like challenging for a top four spot again after turning around their fortunes after a difficult spell saw them win just once in eight games between September and December.
But Mourinho says he’s not looking out for anyone’s results and is just concentrating on his side’s performances.
"Honestly, I don't care," Mourinho said, when asked about the gap to the top four positions not being closed at the moment.
"I care about the way we play, our results, and getting the maximum points possible. Of course, every match for us is very difficult. There are no easy matches but we are playing well and we are more confident."
On the teams above United, Mourinho added: "What happens, happens. For example, I think, last week it was Manchester City against Arsenal and somebody had to lose points.
“More of these matches will come and other people will also lose points. Let's see."
United face Middlesbrough at Old Trafford to finish the year while rivals Manchester City face Liverpool at Anfield.
