Victor Lindelof had another half with his new teammates but Mourinho is frustrated that he does not have more than those two new players to gel into his squad.
While he did praise executive vice chairman Ed Woodward for getting him two big players early, he fears United are falling behind other Premier League sides in the transfer market.
Mourinho said: “The credit for Lukaku and Lindelof to be here on time is not mine but Ed Woodward’s and I thank him for that fantastic work to bring us two very important players.
“But we need a bit more and when you see the other teams in the Premier League, the way they get players and good players and you see the Champions buy three fantastic experienced players.
“City go to the market and Liverpool and West Ham gets Joe Hart, Chicharito and Arnautovic, West Ham wow, they play to win the Premier League too.
