No offence PeeJay, but once again you display why a 20 Welshman should not be having the final say over a article about a 120 year-old Manchester football club. Don't get me wrong - I think you do a good job on here in general - but you sometimes need to concede that there are others out there who (try to) contribute and who know more about certain things than you do.
While there is no good online resource to use as a citation, it is obvious from photographs in books and not least from the shirts themselves - on display to anyone who visits the museum at Old Trafford (as well as some in my own possession) - that United's shirts were made by Umbro from at least 1958 (possibly even pre-war) until Admiral took over the contract in 1975. Unfortunately, the Umbro website is all style over content and only mentions Manchester City shirts.
Will the following photographs do anything to change your mind so that the edits may be reverted?:
Alex Stepney in 1973 - Umbro logo on shirt: http://www.jamd.com/search?assettype=g&assetid=3429909&text=alex+stepney
Noel Cantwell's 1963 FA Cup final shirt (screengrab from Official History of Manchester United DVD) - Umbro label visible inside collar: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/decorativeedison/PDVD_001.jpg

I realise that these links aren't good enough to use as citations on the article, but as it stands, what is written there is incorrect. Either the edits I made should be reverted or the section should be rewritten by someone else so that it is factually accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Decorativeedison ( talk • contribs) 22:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Ok, so players shouldn't have articles before they're notable - i.e. played a competative game. now, the Charity/Community Shield is "offically" a pre-season friendly, but if it's a friendly, why is it counted towards appearence stats, here and elsewhere? If it's not a friendly, then it must be a competative match, meaning that (for example) Rafael can now have an article. Or am I missing something here? Darkson (BOOM! An interception!) 09:02, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I see the mighty Dong has finally had his squad number removed by the club, who have clearly realised that he has no footballing ability whatsoever and isn't even managing to shift too many shirts in China!
In one and a half seasons he has managed two starts - one in a meaningless end of season match at Chelsea and one in the Mickey Mouse Cup - and one substitute appearance - in a meaningless Champions League match in Rome.
Should he retain his place in the first team squad list in this article or should he be moved to the Reserves article? He no longer appears on either list on Uniteds website. Fd2006 ( talk) 13:06, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Manchester United and Chelsea have also been involved in a growing rivalry over the last few years because of the two now becoming the two most dominant sides in English Football. An example of this was in the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final when the two sides were involved in a scuffle and Chelsea's Didier Drogba was subsequently sent off for slapping United's Nemanja Vidic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewfergus07 ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
E. Thomas is down as first known captain, but without a nationality, whilst Jack Powell is down later as the first non-English captain. Either that makes E. Thomas English, or if his nationality is truly unknown, means the note needs removing from Powell. Darkson (BOOM! An interception!) 01:11, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Mark Hughes (Manchester City), Steve Bruce (Wigan), Roy Keane (Sunderland) Paul Ince (Blackburn) - four of the EPL managers played in the first 11 for Manchester United in a FA Cup Final.
This is quite misleading, it is actually quite a distance, about 2 miles! From the Oldham Road heading towards Oldham you can see a newish construction which is planned to be part of the metrolink extension, North Road (now Northampton Road) is just about there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.217.95.67 ( talk) 03:50, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
the article reads "Single match competitions such as the Charity/Community Shield, Intercontinental Cup/World Club Championship or Super Cup are not generally considered to contribute towards a Double or Treble". While I don't believe it counts towards a double treble etc, the world club championshiop is not a single match competition, and the article should reflect this, and change the wording where appropriate. 218.103.254.60 ( talk) 07:29, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

its an italian award for the best young player in Europe. I might be wrong but I think Anderson was this years winner.

There's a bit in the 1970s section that says : 'dennis law scored the goal which many people believed relegated manchester united' (or something like that). This isn't correct because Man Utd were relegated that day by other results and so the outcome of this match was meaningless. Just because 'many people' believed it to be the case does not make it worthy of inclusion in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.121.36 ( talk) 16:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

you should probably mention the clubs debt as it is the largest amount in europe, also you could mention platini's comments on how a club with so much debt should not be in the champions league, if have refrences if you need them.
the link to this article (relating to the amount of city/utd season tickets sold within manchester post codes) does not work, surely that makes it void.
I think that we could breakdown the section of "After the Treble (1999-Present)" and create a new era for example, "After the Treble (1999-2006)" and "(Someone think of a good title) (2006-Present)".

In the Stadium section, it says that Newton Heath played Blackpool at a ground in Harpurhey. The citation is the book "The Official Illustrated History of Manchester United", which does indeed state this as fact. However, in other books such as Stephen F. Kelly's "Back Page United", it is said that it was actually the reserves fixture that was played at Harpurhey.
Do any other books back up the claim that it was a first team fixture that was moved away from Bank Street? Decorativeedison ( talk) 16:41, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm opening a can of worms here but I'm convinced that the 333 million fans claim is a bit of an exaggeration. The basis for this deduction is a collection of interviews with a mere 1,000 people, which was then multiplied exponentially on a world population scale. Anyone with a bit of sense can see that that is some bad statistical application there.
Furthermore, (quoting from one of the sources) "A 2003 MORI survey put the total at 75million.". The idea that Manchester United's fanbase has multiplied by four within five years seems odd. Perhaps the previous poll was conservative but almost 5% of the world's population seems a bit of a joke. The sheer number of citations isn't really a factor as they are all based upon the same press release. I'd recommend toning down the statement to simply "is one of the most popular football clubs in the world" and remove the statistics. These can be discussed in the support section along with the MORI poll. (In fact, the "Support" section makes no mention of these figures whatsoever.) The prominence of this "fact" is clearly an issue given previous studies. What does everyone else think? Sillyfolkboy ( talk) 02:35, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't Adam Ljajić be included in the squad list as someone out on loan, Man Utd completed a deal to sign him and I believe he is only on loan to Partizan until January 2010 - Adzer Adzer 11:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adzer ( talk • contribs)
No mention of this in the history section. It mentions winning the Community Shield pre 2008-09 season, but not the UEFA Super Cup, something I think is important bearing in mind the talk of them being European and World champions, and the focus on them potentially getting a "clean sweep" of ALL trophies. -- 86.136.20.133 ( talk) 10:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Some absent records which would add to the detail of article.
Record League victory; Record European Cup/Champions League victory; Record FA Cup victory; Record League defeat; Record European Cup/Champions League defeat; Record FA Cup defeat; Highest attendance at OT (mentioned in the article, but not prominently); Most goals scored in a season (obviously Cristiano Ronaldo; I would say); Record transfer fee paid & Record transfer fee received.-- 213.94.192.200 ( talk) 11:11, 22 April 2009 (UTC), -- 213.94.192.200 ( talk) 11:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)-- 213.94.192.200 ( talk) 11:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

did an edit to a user's previous edit. that user wrongly stated that united won their first hattrick of BPL titles against arsenal's 0-0 draw at OT. it should be made clear that United have previously won three consecutive titles back in 98-99, 99-00 and 00-01. revert if needed.

I propose that this article be promoted to A-class. It has already passed the Good Article criteria, but is certainly not quite ready for Featured Article status. I do agree that there are still certain elements of the History section that still need rewording/expanding/reducing/de-recentism-ing, but the reader's experience of the article surely fits the description "Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting." Comments are appreciated. – Pee Jay 00:01, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't Adam Ljajić be included in the squad list as someone out on loan, Man Utd completed a deal to sign him and I believe he is only on loan to Partizan until January 2010 - Adzer Adzer 11:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adzer ( talk • contribs)
No mention of this in the history section. It mentions winning the Community Shield pre 2008-09 season, but not the UEFA Super Cup, something I think is important bearing in mind the talk of them being European and World champions, and the focus on them potentially getting a "clean sweep" of ALL trophies. -- 86.136.20.133 ( talk) 10:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Some absent records which would add to the detail of article.
Record League victory; Record European Cup/Champions League victory; Record FA Cup victory; Record League defeat; Record European Cup/Champions League defeat; Record FA Cup defeat; Highest attendance at OT (mentioned in the article, but not prominently); Most goals scored in a season (obviously Cristiano Ronaldo; I would say); Record transfer fee paid & Record transfer fee received.-- 213.94.192.200 ( talk) 11:11, 22 April 2009 (UTC), -- 213.94.192.200 ( talk) 11:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)-- 213.94.192.200 ( talk) 11:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
That's great, thanks for that.-- 213.94.192.200 ( talk) 13:14, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
The correct address for the Theatre Of Dreams is:
Manchester United Football Club, Old Trafford, Sir Matt Busby Way, Manchester M16 ORA.
I can verify that for you if you want. Moderators should change it straight away... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.250.79 ( talk) 09:22, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
If you're referring to the "location" in the right box, I believe its a descriptive location giving a brief indication to where it is, rather than a postal address. CipherPixel ( talk) 09:45, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
did an edit to a user's previous edit. that user wrongly stated that united won their first hattrick of BPL titles against arsenal's 0-0 draw at OT. it should be made clear that United have previously won three consecutive titles back in 98-99, 99-00 and 00-01. revert if needed.

Shouldn't the flag for Darron Gibson be the Northern Ireland flag and not the Republic of Ireland. Jonny Evans has the Northern Irish flag and since they are both Northern Irish, they should both have it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.6.236.20 ( talk) 11:45, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
I propose that this article be promoted to A-class. It has already passed the Good Article criteria, but is certainly not quite ready for Featured Article status. I do agree that there are still certain elements of the History section that still need rewording/expanding/reducing/de-recentism-ing, but the reader's experience of the article surely fits the description "Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting." Comments are appreciated. – Pee Jay 00:01, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
