After the loss to Bodo/Glimt, he is believed to be worried about the team’s defence and will now make efforts in signing United right-back Diogo Dalot.

It is believed that the Portuguese manager will target the 22-year-old on a loan deal, while he will aim to land Lindelof as well as the defender continues to struggle to break into the United starting line up.

Mourinho claimed Lindelof "could be bullied" aerially, although the centre-back did not take the comments personally. Lindelof told Sky Sports:

"For me it has never been a problem, I'm a very easy guy.
"There is always going to be someone talking or someone else. When you play for this club there is always going to be people criticising you and the way you play."

Meanwhile, Mourinho had no choice but to see their midweek Serie A game against Cagliari as a spectator after he was suspended during their 0-0 draw with Napoli over the weekend.

The manager and his Napoli counterpart Luciano Spalletti were sent off in their intense clash as both managers were unhappy with center referee David Massa during the clash at the Stadio Olimpico.

Mourinho was spotted furiously celebrating Pelledrini’s goal, shouting angrily rather than showing any real joy.

He did show some happiness after the final whistle however, getting in some much needed food following the dramatic game.

Wayne Rooney hits out at man Utd players

Jurgen Klopp’s men were ruthless against the hosts, with Mohamed Salah also getting a hat-trick at the Old Trafford - a night that will haunt Old Trafford fans for life.

Man Utd have been under heavy criticism since that day, with many calling for the sacking of their manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
