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.

Ronaldo is in the running for the Golden Boot after scoring four goals in his opening two fixtures, including a stunning hat-trick against a hotly fancied Spain team. MESSI VS RONALDO DEBATE Meanwhile, Messi just found the back of the net in Russia only in his last outing vs Nigeria and missed a vital penalty in the 1-1 draw with Iceland. These developments led to a spike in support for Ronaldo to be considered the greatest of all time, with this summer exemplifying his brilliant form over the last few years.

Vardy: It Was Easy To Reject Arenal Move

    Jamie Vardy says it was easy for him to reject a move to Arsenal, insisting both his head and his heart told him to stay at Leicester City. After playing a crucial role in last season's surprising Premier League title win, the England international was the subject of a bid from the Gunners which triggered his £22 million release clause. Instead, the striker opted to remain at the King Power Stadium and signed a new deal with the Foxes. And Vardy, 29, says it was an easy decision to make. “I was in a hotel room [in Chantilly] for so many hours of every day with nothing to do. You had a lot of time on your hands," he told The Guardian . “I am not going to beat around the bush – every time I thought about it, and every aspect of it I thought about, both my head and my heart were saying to stay at Leicester, which is why I made my decision to stay. “There were loads of reasons. You get that much time to think about, every single thing down to the tea lady. You think about w...
