Manchester United have reportedly identified AC Milan centre-back Koni De Winter as a potential replacement for the struggling Lisandro Martinez. The Red Devils face fierce Premier League competition to secure the versatile Belgium international as they desperately look to fix their leaky defence in January.
Carlo Ancelotti's Rossoneri may have ultimately gained revenge over Liverpool for 'The Miracle of Istanbul', but the team beaten in Turkey was even stronger than the side that triumphed in Athens in 2007
Koni De Winter has turned down a call-up to the Belgium squad for this month's Nations League games against Turkey and Italy, and Mark van Bommel has warned the AC Milan defender that the decision will have long-term consequences. De Winter did not play a single minute in Belgium's four group games so far, despite being a regular starter for his club.
