| Jose Mourinho and Loftus At a Press Conference |
The midfielder believes the Stamford Bridge chief is the man to lead the defending champions from their nightmare start to the Premier League season.
Chelsea are 16th in the standings and 10 points adrift of leaders Manchester City in their bid to retain their title ahead of Saturday's visit of Aston Villa.
They have won just twice in eight league games to pile the pressure on Mourinho, but Loftus-Cheek revealed the Portuguese has the players' full support.
He said: "We think he is the manager for Chelsea.
"When he criticises you that's only so you get better so we are all backing Jose.
"He is always helping and that's what he wants to do. Whatever he does is to help a player and you have to take it in a good way."
The 19-year-old has played just 17 minutes of top-flight action - coming in the August defeat to Crystal Palace - this term as he battles to establish himself at Stamford Bridge.
But with Oscar, Eden Hazard and Willian in front of him, Loftus-Cheek accepts he must bide his time.
"Anyone wants to play but I realise I'm at a top club and opportunities don't come around often," he said.
