Comments –

"Over the next century the club won a further 18 league titles, along with 11 FA Cups and four Football League Cups." It's been more than a century now, if you want to get technical. To avoid having something time-specific, this could be started "Since then" or something like that.

Done

~~"They were also crowned Champions of European football...". Why is "Champions" capitalized?~~

The line was changed

"They experienced the most successful period in their history under the management of Alex Ferguson, who guided the team to twelve league titles in nineteen years." Why is this in past tense when he is still Manchester United's manager?

Done

Only other thing I would do is add "has" before "guided", leaving it as "who has guided the team...". The current wording there is still too much in the past tense for an active manager. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:04, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the "has", was that the only thing that was missing to this line?, or does it need even more rewording?

~~Don't need the Amazon link in the general reference. The book title alone is sufficient, and I believe it's better not to link to commercial sellers if possible.~~

Done

What makes MUFCInfo.com a reliable source?

Even tho it is not an official ManUtd website, the website author Mark Graham is well known in the community for his accurate and reliable statistics, same as Bert Kassies is well known for his UEFA competitions statistics.

Will leave this one unstruck in case other reviewers want to comment on it. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:04, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"They were also crowned champions of Europe " - > "They have also.." (the club is still active...!)

Done

"Carlos Tévez fell one short of 100 appearances for Manchester United, " link the 100 apps to the list.

Done

You have "As of July" in the lead, but "As of 28 May" in the stats. Odd.

Changed

Four sentences of the lead exclusively about Tevez, undue emphasis?

I have reworded the area

Starts - is that really what BritEng calls it when a player is named to play rather than come on as a sub?

Yes, like when you say, "The starting eleven are..."

Ref -> Ref(s).

Done
