 If Antonio Conte succeeds Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United, he is said to want to recruit Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij.


Since current manager Solskjaer's humiliating 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, the Italian has been linked with the Old Trafford position.


Conte is willing to become United's new manager, according to Inter Live, but wants to add De Vrij to his defensive choices.

Last season, the 29-year-old Dutch centre-back played 32 league games for Conte's Inter, helping them to their first Serie A title in 11 years.

De Vrij, who previously played for Feyenoord and Lazio, has 54 international caps to his name.
