In the last fortnight alone, the club\u2019s men\u2019s first team have been led by three different managers. <\/p>\n
Under their first interim head coach, Darren Fletcher, Man United crashed out of the FA Cup at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion, meaning they will play just 40 competitive fixtures this season, their lowest total since 1915. <\/p>\n
18+ Be Gamble Aware<\/strong><\/p>\n The new TV deal comes six-months on from a decision by then-head coach Ruben Amorim to scrap a proposed Amazon Prime \u201cAll or Nothing\u201d behind-the-scenes style documentary about the Red Devils\u2019 2025\/26 season. <\/p>\n At the time, Amorim was said to have had concerns it would have disrupted match-day preparations. <\/p>\n Weeks on from Amorim\u2019s departure, and according to a new report in The Athletic, Man United will now be part of a major new TV show. <\/p>\n As revealed by The Athletic writer Adam Crafton, the new Man United show will take the shape of a \u201cdramatised retelling of the club\u2019s history\u201d rather than a fly-on-the-wall documentary. <\/p>\n The new series is said to be modelled on the style of Netflix\u2019s vastly popular \u201cThe Crown.\u201d <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The Crown was based on another of the United Kingdom\u2019s best-loved institutions: the Royal Family. <\/p>\n
