The Portuguese made the remark after United were beaten 2-1 by Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in the Premier League, their second successive defeat in the competition, which knocked them out of contention for finishing in the top four.
"We won a League Cup".
The midfielder who moved from Manchester United to Chicago Fire this past March was also quizzed on the medal that he'll receive should United defeat Ajax and claim that Europa tournament title.
He added: "I don't know other clubs, I don't know the way they think, I don't know what is important for them".
"We did things that nobody did in this club in the first season, like winning a trophy, like having the record of Manchester United in the Premier League, unbeatable, like reaching a European final".
"If I have Ashley Young and Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo, [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic, [Tim] Fosu-Mensah - if I have these guys, I can rotate and go for every match.
Ed Woodward hails Manchester United's 'tremendous progress' under Jose Mourinho
Mourinho added: "I can not go to Man City or Arsenal and put out five kids at the same time altogether". United captain Rooney agreed with Mourinho in that Tottenham had more motivation going into the game.

So impressive since arriving from Villarreal last summer, the 23-year-old Ivory Coast worldwide was shown a straight red card for raising his hands during a heated end to the 1-1 draw with Celta. I can not go to Man City or to Arsenal and put five kids at the same time all together.
I'm happy for them that they're in the final against Ajax.
Two matches of the season remain, with United playing Southampton and then Crystal Palace on the final day of the season at Old Trafford.
However, after Sky presenter Geoff Shreeves asked Mourinho three questions about the game, the "Special One" decided it was time to leave because he has a Europa League final to focus on. "And we played in a positive way, especially in the second half when we brought a little more quality into the team". "Even if it was unfair, I don't think UEFA rules will allow any chance of an appeal", said Mourinho.
The idea of Romero starting the Europa League final has been discussed among the fans for a few weeks now, and it seems very much that opinion is split down the middle.
