Trailer gives peek at Man United '99' doc series
Manchester United fans have been offered a sneak preview of the new 'definitive' documentary series about their historic 1999 Treble win.
'99', which is produced by the company behind the 'Beckham' Netflix series, will air on Amazon Prime Video on May 17 and have three parts.
It features exclusive interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson, Beckham, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Peter Schmeichel, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and others as they chart that extraordinary season 25 years on.
Ferguson's side won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the most dramatic fashion, writing themselves into football history.
The trailer, which dropped on Tuesday, begins with the climactic moments of the Champions League final in Barcelona when goals by Teddy Sheringham and Solskjaer in the dying moments snatched glory from the jaws of defeat.
'Only this will define you - forever,' says goalkeeper Schmeichel, before Beckham says: '1999 - it had been a hell of a season,' a reference to his vilification after being sent off for England at the 1998 World Cup.
The Neville brothers, Gary and Phil, plus Ferguson's assistant Steve McClaren are then seen describing the 'desperation', 'heartache', 'pain' and 'sheer fear' of United's tightrope act in three competitions.
'There was no time to rest,' says Ferguson, who was knighted after United's achievements.
Dwight Yorke and Sheringham then appear to talk about the intense rivalry with Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, whom United pipped to the title on the final day and beat in an epic FA Cup semi-final.
There's a glimpse of Ryan Giggs' famous solo goal to defeat Arsenal in the semi-final replay and the moments of desperations before the miracle turnaround against Bayern Munich.
Amazon's blurb for the series reads:
