Swedish great Ibrahimovic reportedly signed a one-year deal, with an option for a second, when joining United in July.
At the age of 34, Ibrahimovic has shown no signs of slowing down, scoring in both of his United performances so far, including a late Wembley winner in the Community Shield against Leicester City.
And Mourinho is confident that the veteran superstar has quickly settled to life in England, as well as on the pitch.
"I ask about his family, his wife, his kids - I know how important these things are to him - integration, house and everything is fine and everybody is happy," Mourinho said before Fridays Premier League visit of Southampton.
Mourinho will be able to call upon the services of the world's most expensive football at Old Trafford on Friday as Paul Pogba returns from suspension.
Eric Bailly has also impressed in his early days at Old Trafford, and Mourinho is pleased with the way he is dealing with the pressure.
"Bailly is a young boy playing in a completely different competition with a different club, but despite all the pressure and expectation that comes with playing for United, he plays against Leicester at Wembley and is comfortable, leading and communicative."
