This book is one in Lerner’s Champion Soccer Clubs series. Chapter 1 starts with a confusing description of a game in the 2016-2017 season, instead of starting with an introduction to Manchester United. This opening might work for readers who already have an understanding of the team, but readers looking for an introduction to Manchester United or the sport of soccer will have to muddle through until Chapter 3 which provides background information. Although the book highlights fan-favorite players from the past, it is odd that only one of the three current players on the front of the book are mentioned in the text. The pictures throughout the book capture interesting action and will appeal to readers. The glossary in the back defines the highlighted words in the text. Source notes, an Index, and Further Reading resources are also provided. Consider for an additional purchase.

For Grades 4 and up.
