Mkhitaryan scored his first Premier League goal since joining United in the 1-0 victory over Tottenham on Sunday.
The Armenian had struggled to establish himself under Mourinho since joining from Borussia Dortmund in a £26.3million summer move.
But his game was brought to an abrupt end when he was stretchered off on 85 minutes, having twisting his ankle after a tackle from Danny Rose.
Mourinho, who hopes that Mkhitaryan can return by Christmas, has again expressed his unhappiness at the tackle that injured the 27-year-old.
“I am not happy but it is football and sometimes you go over the limit in a big match,” he said.
“The referee did very well and I am happy for him because normally these matches are given to the ref with more experience, more status.
“I think for him it was the biggest match he had refereed in the Premier League. He did very well and probably he wanted to finish the game without a red card. He gave a yellow card and for me that’s fine.
“When everything ends well, like with Miki, not having a big injury, let’s move on. It was a big game, hard and sometimes a bit nasty but it was a game for men.”
