Fergie threatens United shake-up
Sir Alex Ferguson has threatened wholesale changes at Old Trafford after accusing his stars of not working hard enough.
The reigning Premiership champions slipped to sixth in the table yesterday after being beaten 3-1 against Liverpool at Anfield - their third defeat in the league this season.
Ferguson has been criticised for the tactical changes he has made during his final season in the United hot-seat but so far, publicly at least, the 59-year-old has remained calm.
However, he struggled to contain his anger after his side were comprehensively outplayed at Anfield and hinted that he is ready to swing the axe if things do not improve shortly.
He said: "The aspect that worries me is Liverpool worked harder than us and there has been signs of that this season.
"They are where we were four years ago in terms of the work rate of the team and until we address that situation then we are going to get results like that."
Although he did not name the players concerned, Ferguson pointed an accusing finger at Wes Brown and Fabien Barthez, whose mistakes led to Liverpool's second and third goals at Anfield.
Brown pushed Michael Owen to give away a free-kick from which John Arne Riise scored, and the Liverpool pair were involved in the decisive goal when Barthez failed to catch a throw in from the Norwegian full-back to gift the England striker his second.
