"I think we have had very good performances - Arsenal here, Tottenham here, when we played really well".
His gameplan worked perfectly and Mourinho was a happy man for many reasons when talking about the victory which not only blew the title race wide-open but also reignited United's top four hopes.
But in a pointed reference to Chelsea's struggles last season under Jose Mourinho, now the United manager, he said his team's quest for the title deserved to be considered a "miracle".
Antonio Conte told Sky Sports he blamed himself for Chelsea's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford and said Jose Mourinho's team had shown greater desire to win the game.
"I don't feel extra joy at beating Chelsea - we beat the leader".
The Premier League leaders failed to register a shot on target in a Premier League match for the first time since December 2015, and the result means their lead over Tottenham Hotspur is just four points with six games remaining. We have different teams different players, maybe it is hard for some managers to find Ander Herrera to do the job he did today.
"We don't know what can happen in the Europa League, so these three points were phenomenal".
Zouma was a late replacement for Marcos Alonso, who pulled out in the warm-up, but Chelsea can offer no excuses here as they were second best throughout.

McMaster, said the US would rely on its allies as well as on Chinese leadership to resolve the issues with North Korea. Pence is scheduled to visit to visit the gateway to the DMZ and acting South Korean president Hwang Kyo-ahn on Monday.
"We lost two games but these two games were totally different".
Herrera said of the team's performance: "It was nearly ideal".
Asked if other teams have simply accepted Chelsea were superior in recent months, Mourinho is happy with how his team stuck to the gameplan he devised and revealed exactly where he targeted the team who cast him aside last season after also doing so in 2007 with this three PL titles in west London not enough to save him.
"Maybe it is hard for some managers to find Ander Herrera to do the job he did today". Defensively it was flawless, they didn't create any chances, and on the counter-attack we hurt them. He detailed Ander Herrera and Matteo Darmian to man-mark Chelsea forwards Eden Hazard and Pedro Rodriguez, made the bold call to start Marcus Rashford ahead of top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and played two youngsters - Rashford and winger Jesse Lingard - up front in a surprise move. We did that at Stamford Bridge when we played with 11.
That's the best current unbeaten run in Europe's top five leagues as their character is building, even if some pieces of the jigsaw are yet to slot perfectly into place. "Be patient and have great will to fight. otherwise we must clap another team", he added.
"We all know the next game and how you go for the final or you don't go and for this reason, you must put 200 percent to reach the final", he said.
"We have to think that there are six finals from now until the end", Conte said.
