DM: Michael Essien
Essien arrived from Chelsea during the January transfer window after injuries and loan spells with Real Madrid put him out of favour at Stamford Bridge.
CM: Riccardo Montolivo
Montolivo joined Milan on a free deal from Fiorentina back in 2012 and has now risen to become the club’s captain.
CM: Sulley Muntari
Muntari crossed Milan when he came from rivals Inter in 2012, though a short stop off in Sunderland ensued first.
