Harry Maguire could lose the captain’s armband.
The Reds captain was dropped in United’s 2-1 in over Liverpool on Monday night.
Both Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane were impressive at the heart of defence.
The squad have been struggling in the defensive area for a while now and brought some reinforcements in the summer.
“Sometimes you look to your captain, if he’s having a real bad time when you’re looking for him then it can become harder because you look at a captain to lead by example,” Winterburn explained when speaking to Paddy Power.
“It appears to me that Harry Maguire is struggling a little and has been made a scapegoat. I’ve looked at certain goals where some pundits and people are putting Maguire into the fall.
“He’s an England international, he’s the captain of Manchester United, and the level of performance, as for most of them, needs to be considerably higher.
“The manager would make that decision whether he needs to change the captaincy, but the most important thing is his attitude, his dedication and the desire to win a game of football when you’re out on the pitch, it doesn’t take a captain to do that.”
