A 16-game unbeaten run in the English top-flight has lifted the Old Trafford outfit to within touching distance of the Champions League places.
They are, however, about to see their rivals given an opportunity to edge back into the distance.
United are set to turn their attention to other endeavours, with continental and domestic cup fixtures approaching.
A home Europa League clash with St Etienne on Thursday is followed by an FA Cup fifth-round clash with Blackburn Rovers, a return date in France and the EFL Cup final against Southampton.
With his side not in league action again until March 4, Mourinho concedes that a hectic schedule is offering positives and negatives.
“They will leave us,” he said.
“The other teams will have points so, for sure, it’s going to happen.
“That’s the way it is. I don’t think it is easy, because you want to play the competition, but at the same time we have motivation.
