Let's assume that the Universe was flipped and you were actually United supporters. What changes would you make to the squad and the management if you had the authority to do so, in light of our recent loss of form. Who would you buy / sell, and what changes would you make.

I'd sell Veron, the Nervous sisters, Yorke, Fortune, Wallwork and Barthez. Buy back Sheringham and Stam, then add Dudek, Hofland, Mexes, Vignal and Carr. I'd play Stam and Hofland/Mexes with Vignal on the left and Carr on the right
Revert to the midfield of Beckham, Keane (maybe even replace him with Gerrard or Vieira), Scholes and Giggs and put Solskjaer up front with Sheringham just off him.

I'd concentrate on the defence...
Get a new RB and CB asap..
RB I'd maybe try and get Gary Kelly, in terms of likely availability and price
CB, Tihunen has been mentioned which is good cheap shout or anyone who's solid and no risk - E.g. Richards, Ehiogu, that Swedish Villa bloke, even Matt Elliot..
Long term I'd be listen to offers for all your current defenders...look to get maybe Bridge in, give O'Shea a chance..
Without transfers I'd pick my 4 defenders and stick with them...if they make mistakes I'd let them learn from them and keep them together, I reckon defenders need to play together regularly to develop an understanding..
I'd go with
Barthez
Neville O'Shea Blanc/ Johnsen (when fit) Silvestre
Beckham Veron Keane Giggs
RVN Little Noggy
I'd try and keep the team settled, but Barthez and Veron would have to snap out of their current form or be replaced..
I'd also want to get rid of Cole and Yorke and get a better striker in..
And I'd be looking for a replacement for Beckham for when he leaves...;(

I wouldn't call that sorting 'my life out', more like 'sinking deep into who-knows-what'.
I'd also go back to a 4-4-2 only with Yorke up front with Van Nistelroy. Too many players are off form right now , but this can't go on for long. I also think Veron was bought as a replacement for Beckham.

I never thought he'd be for sale this soon...

I wouldn't buy anyone, because at this time of the Year the players aren't available. (plus I don't think the money is
My Team would be, and I would keep it this way for a run of games to get some consistency.
.................Barthez...................
P.Neville....Blanc.....G.Neville..Sylvestre
..................Keane....................
.......Beckham....Scholes....Veron...........
...........Yorke.........RVN...............
I believe they are all fit and available for Saturday.
Giggs would come in for Scholes and switch with Veron.
Class team. Sylvestre is very under rated IMO.

I'd buy Riggot, and King. Sell Evil sisters, and replace them with youngsters like Cole, and maybe fork over a small fortune for Carragher. There you'd have a young defense, all of whom have performed well this year.
---------------Bathez--------------
Carragher---Riggot-----King----Cole
-----------------Keane--------------
Beckham---------Scholes--------Veron

Well if we are talking in terms of Champ Manager then I'd just get..
Thuram Cannavaro Hyypia Carlos.
Sound defence that!
i wouldn't change a thing. they're all doing very well
