Initial review

Early life and career

 * Ref 8 doesn't seem to be adding anything to the sentence it's placed after and we already have four other refs for a relatively small and uncontroversial sentence.
 * Ref 8 removed accordingly.

2016–17 season

 * In the picture caption, his name needs the hyphen between Alexander and Arnold and change u-18 to U18.
 * Also in the caption, should Arsenal have U18 as well to differentiate between the first and youth team?
 * I've hyphenated his name and differentiated between senior and 18. I've also linked the teams to their respective reserve & academy pages in the image caption.


 * "in the fourth round of a 2–1 EFL Cup victory over Tottenham Hotspur.", reads a little oddly. Seems to suggest it was the fourth round of the actual match rather than the competition.
 * Tweaked wording to read: "... in a 2–1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the EFL Cup."

Senior England national team

 * Unlink friendly, already linked previously in the article.
 * Done

Personal life

 * "His maternal grandmother, Dooreen Carling, was once also a girlfriend of former United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, before moving to New York City", is this relevant? I'd say we try to avoid listing who dated who generally for the subject, so his grandmother dating someone who has no real connection to him seems a bit of an odd inclusion.
 * Relationship flows from soft links to Man United in the previous sentence. I've reworded to read "in a relationship with" rather than "girlfriend of" to make it seem less teenage-y but if you still feel it is irrelevant I don't mind removing it.


 * The following sentence states he is eligible for the United States by descent but doesn't explain why (grandmother's marriage). I'd include the reason why.
 * Added that she married in New York, as per the NY Times ref.
