Totally agree. At this stage De Gea has to be seen as a massive lapse of judgement on Fergie's part but you're right, the defence in front of him is shocking. Smalling and Jones look like they'll get there soon enough but I don't rate Evra that highly and, as you say, Evans is simply dreadful. Ferdinand is clearly coming to the end of his career but Vidic's injury has been a massive loss. Although, with the amount of red cards referees have been showing for the barest hint of a tackle, you have to wonder if he would've stayed on the pitch long enough to make a difference.
