Manchester United confirm record-breaking deal to follow Arsenal and Man City

Manchester United will be followed by Amazon Prime Video next season for the latest instalment of the ‘All or Nothing’ series after agreeing a record-breaking deal.

Filming will start in pre-season for the access-all-areas documentary, which will air in the summer of 2027.

It will follow the first season of Michael Carrick's reign as permanent head coach and will mark United's return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2023-24 campaign.

The All or Nothing series has previously followed Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City.

It is believed that Amazon offered United a record fee, significantly more than other Premier League clubs have received.

The series will follow what United have billed as a "transformative summer" and allow "unprecedented access to one of the world's most prestigious football clubs, taking them inside the Old Trafford dressing room, the inner sanctum of United's all-new Carrington Training Complex and much more."

Manchester United’s chief communications officer, Toby Craig, said: “Now is the right time to open our doors, so that for the first time our fans around the world can see behind the scenes of a club which means so much to so many people.

“This documentary will showcase Manchester United’s unique people, ambition and culture; from the iconic atmosphere at Old Trafford to the work that goes on behind the scenes every day at Carrington.

"We will share some of the stories of this historic club both with our fans and new audiences around the world as we compete at the highest level, both domestically and in the Champions League.”

Amazon held talks with United about filming this season but it was decided by the club last summer that allowing full access would be a distraction to the players.

Ruben Amorim, who was in charge of United at the time, was not keen on so much being revealed and the impact the documentary would have on the players.

Arsenal's documentary took place during the 2021-22 season, when the Gunners fell away late in the season to finish fifth.

It gave an insight into some of the unusual motivational methods used by Mikel Arteta and also showed some angry team talks and training ground bust-ups.

That came after Manchester City were followed in the 2017-18 season, during which Pep Guardiola's side picked up 100 points, before Tottenham's 2019-20 campaign under Jose Mourinho was then documented.
