We’ve just heard that a brand new documentary about one of the world’s greatest football clubs, Manchester United, has been set for release on the home formats and on Sky Documentaries in May. The United Way will be presented by United alumni Eric Cantona and will get a Blu-ray, DVD & Download-to-Own on 10th May from Dazzler Media, and it’s then a screening on Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW from 24th May.
The United Way is the epic story of a football club, a city and a man who did more than most to bring success to both. As told by, co-written and featuring Eric Cantona.
He was an artist on and off the pitch and remains today a genuine superstar. The peerless French maverick is our guide from the dark days of Munich through to a historic treble in 1999. And all of the drama in between. The film shares his unique insights into this iconic club with a fresh perspective on the “United Way”, taking audiences on a compelling ride through the history and evolution of the world’s biggest football club, and the social and cultural environment that shaped it. Exclusive interviews and stunning archive interweave Eric’s story with that of the club.
There is insight from the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Bryan Robson, Brian Kidd, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Teddy Sheringham, Nicky Butt, Peter Schmeichel, the late Tommy Docherty and many, many more- as well as era-defining figures from the realms of music and politics. From humble beginnings in England’s Industrial North at the turn of the 20th Century, Manchester United rose with defiance and flair through the smog of tragedy, adversity and despair to become a cultural colossus.
A trailer will be available soon, but you can check out the box art below and a first-look image of Cantona above.
