TA: Amazon bids 10 million pounds to shoot a team documentary because Amorin refuses Manchester United s decision to give up

According to The Athletic, Manchester United has withdrawn from Amazon's plan to shoot a documentary for the next season due to concerns distracting the team.

According to people familiar with the matter, Manchester United had months of secret negotiations with Amazon on filming a documentary series next season, and the other party provided a offer of more than £10 million, for the highest compensation paid to the club in the "All or Nothing" documentary series. Previously, Amazon has produced similar programs for Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham.

However, after negotiations, Manchester United executives finally decided to terminate it. The main reason is that the team's head coach Amorin made it clear that he does not want the documentary filming to interfere with the first team. The specific terms of his business agreement and the pressure of the schedule in the new season are also one of the considerations. Manchester United unanimously decided to give up the plan after listening to Amorin's feedback. As we know in the week, Manchester United faces serious financial pressure, with debts exceeding 700 million pounds and missing the European Cup next season, and business income has also been affected. So Amazon's proposal could have eased financial pressure, with Manchester United's business team, Inex and club CEO Berrada supporting the proposal. However, implementation of the plan remains dependent on overall feasibility and support from the football department.

After learning of this plan, Amorin made it clear that such a program is neither suitable nor beneficial to the current first team. He believes that clubs have been full of problems in recent years, and shooting such a documentary in this environment will become an unnecessary distraction. And shooting any TV show requires the players' consent, because Amazon will gain almost no restricted access, which is extremely unlikely if Amorin does not convince the players to recognize its value.

Despite Manchester United's poor record, the cancellation of Amazon's documentary program shows that Amorin's opinion is still important. The club allowed him to rebuild the team according to his own philosophy, even if it meant leaving young talents like Garnacho. Manchester United is also operating players who are suitable for Amorin's tactical style, and has also received support from senior club officials in the Amazon documentary. However, both Manchester United and Amazon declined to comment.

Previously, Manchester United had also discussed with Disney about filming a documentary, hoping to reach a multi-million agreement. They plan to shoot a video about Manchester United's glorious era under Ferguson's coaching, focusing on the process of winning 38 trophies in 26 years, including a large number of interviews by Ferguson himself and precious historical influence materials, and invited many celebrities to share memories. However, the plan is still in the conceptual stage and needs to be formally agreed by Ferguson and all the celebrities. Later, due to Manchester United's cost cuts, the project was temporarily put on hold.
