5 lessons learned by Jose Mourinho after Bristol City defeat

Signings need to be made in the January transfer window

Certain players on the field showed no spirit, fight or determination and Mourinho himself knows that he needs everyone to fight for a place in his starting line-up on a weekly basis.

Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian performed poorly. Both players struggled to take advantage of the opportunity given to them, in order to prove they are worthy to remain at the club.

Besides Antonio Valencia, there is no real quality full-backs in the United squad and replacing the aforementioned duo would be a welcome move for the manager to make.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ageing and Mourinho could be tempted to make an approach for another striker once the January transfer window opens.
