Man Utd’s secret talks over warts-and-all Amazon Prime doc revealed – before it was scrapped over Amorim’s concerns
MANCHESTER UNITED were set to feature in a fly-on-the-wall Amazon documentary.
The Red Devils’ Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham have featured in hit ‘All or Nothing’ documentaries in recent years.
And United are were on course to join the trio after reaching a £10million deal with the streaming powerhouse.
That’s according to The Athletic, who claim talks between Amazon and United over the series took place for several “months”.
Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim is said to have voiced his displeasure at the proposed series to the United brass.
And Portuguese’s protestations were ultimately heeded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co, who decided not to greenlight the financially lucrative series.
The Old Trafford faithul were quick to react to the news of the proposed behind-the-scenes series being scrapped.
One wrote on X: “Good decision, all that stuff is cringe.”
Another said: “We finally made a good decision.”
And another said: “That would’ve been a blockbuster no doubt.
“But with all eyes on rebuilding under Amorim, maybe staying off-camera is the real power move. Focus first, cameras later.”
One remarked: “Good decision. Too much of a s*** show at Man Utd.”
Another chimed in: “Thank Christ for that.
“Don’t want the world seeing behind closed doors for our relegation battle next year.”
Amorim’s pushing back on the docuseries isn’t a major surprise given the magnitude of the upcoming season.
The 2025/26 season will be the Portuguese’s first full campaign since he replaced Erik ten Hag at the Old Trafford helm.
The pressure will be on from the get-go as his troops finished in an embarrassing 15th place in the Premier League last season.
And they haven’t been handed an easy start for the new domestic campaign, welcoming 2022/23, 23/24, and 24/25 runners-up Arsenal to The Theatre of Dreams.
