I've listed this article for peer review because I want it to regain Good Article status, and then hopefully Featured article status. Already made some fairly significant changes, what else can be improved?

Quick review from Jayron32

[edit]
Hey, following a request at my talk page, I perused the article. It looks pretty good, I think it only needs some minor polishing, if any, before GA status is returned. The only glaring thing missing is proper referencing of some sections. The "History" sections in this regard need some work, there is at least one unresolved citation needed tag in there, and other referencing is spotty; the entire 1969-1986 section is unreferenced, which IS a problem, especially parts where there are questionable statements made (the bit about them offering the manager job, and being rebuffed by, Jock Stein, for one example). A good "rule of thumb" is that, at minimum, each paragraph should have a reference showing where that information came from, while additional references should be provided directly after statements which are direct quotes, contain facts and figures, or which may in some way be challenged, like the one I note above. Another example of a controversial or questionable or challangable statement which is unreferenced is the first paragraph of the "Ownership and finances" section. It should be noted that these same problems were noted when the article was stripped of its GA status, see Talk:Manchester United F.C./GA1 for more info. --Jayron32 21:21, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
