Saturday’s Premier League trip to Everton.
Ferguson is still seething over the way his side imploded to lose 6-1 to Manchester City - a defeat he described as “my worst ever” - and will show his ruthless side to some of his established stars.
Defenders Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra, whom Ferguson accused of failing to use their experience to keep the scoreline respectable against City, are set to be his most high-profile victims.
Fergie is said to be ready to pair Nemanja Vidic and Phil Jones in central defence at Goodison, with Chris Smalling and Fabio Da Silva occupying the full-back roles.
Credit to City's finishing and counter attacking to secure such a big win, but in reality had United's defence not gone missing and been disciplined for the last 3 minutes of the game the result would have probably been 1-3.
A bad loss for sure, but still relatively 'respectable' considering they played with 10 men for half the game.
Evans should be dropped for sure for a long time after his suspension, the others just for losing their heads when they should have taken responsibility for organising the defence considering their experience.
Personally i think Rafael, Jones, Smalling and Fabio are the long term future of United's defence anyway. The more most of the young guys can play together the better it will get. Smalling is NOT a right back though, he was outstanding last year in central defence and looks out of place at RB. Rafael can't return soon enough.
Evra's and particularly Ferdinand's United career appears to be drawing to a close. Rio needs to quit international to preserve his United spot longer just as Vidic has- 2012 must be his last competition for England.
@buddymagoo "Manchester United were dominating the game" hahahahahahahahahaha
"Let's see if City can beat us when we have 11 men before you all get excited."
that guy just told you to stop making excuses.. holy moly these united fans are just as dumb as we all expect.
