I believe the answer is:

awed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'much impressed' is the definition.
'awed' can be an answer for 'impressed' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'much' bit.

'an article on united' is the wordplay.
'an article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'united' becomes 'we'd' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a'+'wed'='AWED'

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for awed that I've seen before include "was dazzling" , "Filled with fear and wonder" , "in terror" , "shock" , "Impressed deeply" .)
