“The only thing I can say is that I am still a coach with worries, ambitions, desires to do new things,” he said speaking with Dutch programme Telefoot.
“I’m sure I will not finish my career here [in Manchester].”
Mourinho has never stayed at any club longer than three years as a senior manager, spending three seasons or less at all of FC Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
He has managed in three of Europe’s top five leagues and amassed eight league titles, four domestic cups, a Uefa Cup, a Europa League and two Champions Leagues.
Having finished sixth in the Premier League last season his side are aiming to push closer to a legitimate title challenge this campaign, having trailed champions Chelsea by 24 points last season.
United are unbeaten in the Premier League so far this season, but trail league leaders Manchester City by two points in second place.
