David Beckham’s worries he couldn’t play in England again after Simeone kick, Solskjaer feeling sick before Nou Camp heroics and ‘sheer fear’ as historic Treble loomed… Trailer gives peek at Man United ’99’ doc series

Manchester United fans have been given a sneak peek at the new ‘definitive’ documentary series about their historic 1999 Treble win.

’99’, produced by the company behind the Netflix series ‘Beckham’, will air on Amazon Prime Video on May 17 and will consist of three parts.

It features exclusive interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson, Beckham, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Peter Schmeichel, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and more as they chart that extraordinary season 25 years on.

Ferguson’s side dramatically won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League and wrote themselves into football history.

The trailer, released on Tuesday, begins with the climactic moments of the Champions League final in Barcelona, ​​when goals from Teddy Sheringham and Solskjaer in the dying moments snatched the glory from the jaws of defeat.

“Only this will define you forever,” says goalkeeper Schmeichel, before Beckham says: “1999 – it was a great season,” a reference to his vilification after being sent off to England at the 1998 World Cup.

The Neville brothers, Gary and Phil, plus Ferguson’s assistant Steve McClaren then describe the ‘despair’, ‘heartbreak’, ‘pain’ and ‘sheer fear’ of United’s tightrope walk in three competitions.

“There was no time to rest,” said Ferguson, who was knighted after United’s performance.

Dwight Yorke and Sheringham then appear to discuss the intense rivalry with Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal, which United lifted to the title on the final day and defeated in an epic FA Cup semi-final.

There are glimpses of Ryan Giggs’ famous solo goal to beat Arsenal in the semi-final replay and the moments of despair before the miraculous turnaround against Bayern Munich.

Amazon’s blurb for the series reads: ‘The documentary follows the astonishing road to greatness with untold stories from within the team, revealing the locker room conflicts, personal struggles and miraculous moments behind the legendary season, which culminated in the most incredible comeback victory in football. .

“The series is both a love letter to one of world football’s greatest achievements and the story of a group of players recruited, coached and molded by Sir Alex Ferguson to make history.

‘The documentary also features never-before-seen archive footage and candid behind-the-scenes videos of the club and fans.’
