Manchester United Ends £10m Amazon Documentary Talks Over Coach Concerns

Manchester United has withdrawn from negotiations for a record-breaking Amazon Prime documentary deal, despite the offer exceeding £10 million and potentially being the highest payment Amazon has made for an 'All or Nothing' series. The club spent several months in talks with Amazon, but head coach Ruben Amorim expressed strong concerns about the potential distraction the documentary could cause during a crucial rebuilding phase, leading to the decision to halt the project. Although the commercial side, including CEO Omar Berrada and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, supported the financially beneficial deal amid significant debt and no European competition next season, the football department's unanimous recommendation to abandon the plan prevailed. The club has already made some key signings to strengthen the squad but faces challenges with player departures, including Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. Fans have largely supported the decision, viewing it as a focus-first approach during a turbulent time at Old Trafford. This move highlights the weight Amorim's views carry despite the club's ongoing struggles.
