ManU

I used to see a chance to make it against ManU but right now, well...
Eitherway, a little bit of tactical thing for the game. The team needs Deco in midfield by any means necessary. In defense, I guess the line-up is given and despite everything, I'm not too worried about Zambrotta or Abidal against Ronaldo, specially if the Kaiser and the Marshall play too. The Marshall also should try to get a booking the next game, at least before the Kaiser gets one.
The key to me is the midfield. Here, I would do what Milan did last season:
I would play Xavi or Iniesta in center, flanked on both sides by Deco and Toure. That way Xavi, or Iniesta can dictate the game and the tempo much better and Yahya and Deco would try to take care of whoever attacks on that side, or Touré takes Ronaldo in some sort of man2man defense.
In attack, I would right now play with either Messi-Henry-Iniesta, or Messi-Henry-Eto'o. All in all, I would play Henry and somehow hope for a miraculous return to form of him, or I would bring him as a sub. But, Ferdinand is one of those defenders Eto'o doesn't like to play against at all. He is quick and physically strong and that's not Eto'o's game at all. Instead, I would try to play him against Neville or Wes Brown, whoever plays right.
So, this would be my team

Subs: Henry for Xavi and if needed Bojan for Deco and Sylvinho for Abidal.
