5 lessons learned by Jose Mourinho after Bristol City defeat

Scott McTominay needs more competitive football

United's young midfielder McTominay started the match but failed to take control in midfield during a game where he would have fancied himself to excel against lower league opposition.

Perhaps, the central midfielder needs to be sent out on-loan, where he would gain valuable experience from playing first-team minutes on a weekly basis.

He seemed to be nervous in possession and always passed sideways or backward, as opposed to looking for a killer pass towards the forward players.

That could be down to his inexperience, or also being overwhelmed by Paul Pogba's presence alongside him in the middle of the pitch.

There are high hopes at United for McTominay's long-term future, but a year or two out on loan may be the best possible option for his development at present.
