What period will Disney’s Manchester United documentary cover?

After news emerged about a deal to share insights into the stories behind the club, some fans are wary over which years will be included.

Manchester United fans may soon find themselves transported back in time to relive the glory days of the club’s unparalleled success under the stewardship of legendary Scottish coach Sir Alex Ferguson. Reports suggest that the Red Devils are in talks with entertainment giant Disney to produce a documentary that will encapsulate the illustrious 26-year reign of Ferguson, during which United clinched an astonishing 38 trophies.

Over the last decade, opposition fans (to be fair, many of their own fans would agree!) have been delighted to call out United as a ‘Mickey Mouse club’. Spending fortunes, considered a true behemoth of the global game, but failing to ignite any of the glory of the Fergie era. Rivals have enjoyed the giant’s slumber, always aware that, almost certainly, it will awaken once again.

Sources close to the negotiations, reports Adam Crafton for The Athletic, who requested anonymity due to the confidential nature of the discussions, reveal that the proposed documentary would delve deep into the era that saw Man Utd dominate English and European football. From clinching 13 Premier League titles to lifting the prestigious Champions League trophy on two occasions, the documentary aims to provide an intimate insight into the secrets behind United’s remarkable achievements. It is unclear, though, how much will continue into the relatively barren times that followed.

Key to the documentary’s success would be the involvement of Sir Alex Ferguson himself, who, at 82 years old, remains an iconic figure in footballing history. The production is said to include extensive interviews
