United stopped the rot with a 3-1 win over third-tier Northampton Town in the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday after losing to Manchester City, Feyenoord and Watford in the past week.
"I know that some football Einsteins — football is full of Einsteins — I know that they tried to delete 16 years of my career," Mourinho said.
Focus on bad results
"They (critics) tried to delete an unbelievable history of Man United football club and focus on a bad week with three bad results. But that's the new football — it's full of Einsteins," the Portuguese added.
"I can understand clearly the disappointment if the fans are disappointed with the last week," said Mourinho, who previously coached European football giants like Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
Eyeing home run
"I understand completely but I'm sure that with the team going back home (against Premier League champions Leicester City on Saturday) they will be behind the team like they always are."
Manchester United's win over Northampton were built on goals by Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford as they advance into fourth round.
