Spurs are sitting four points behind Chelsea, while United's recent slump has them occupying seventh place and six points off the top four.
Mourinho, however, has left the Red Devils out of his list of candidates who stand a realistic chance of sealing a Champions League place.
The Portuguese boss pointed out the two clubs have everything it takes to play in Europe's elite competition, including power and quality.
"Wolves and Sheffield United are fighting for the top four, [the managers] they can say no, and I understand if they say no but the reality is that they are. Not just because of the position that they are in the table, but because of the power and quality," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
"So it’s not just about Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton. It’s not just about us. It’s also about these two clubs who I have to say are fantastic," he continued.
Sheffield United were only promoted to English topflight football this season but have surpassed everyone's expectations with consistency and quality.
