Paul Scholes has mixed feelings about Manchester United’s upcoming All or Nothing documentary, but expects fans to love it. It was announced on Monday that the Red Devils have struck a deal with Amazon to film the 2026/27 season for their All or Nothing series. The documentary will provide a behind-the-scenes look at life at Old Trafford and Carrington over a year with the Premier League giants.
Documentary series background
Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City have already been subjects of the All or Nothing series, with City being the first Premier League club to be filmed. Other editions include Juventus in 2021, the Brazil national team in 2020, and the All Blacks in 2018. Now Manchester United’s stars will be under the spotlight.
Scholes’ perspective
Scholes admitted he would have hated the idea as a player, but as a retired fan, he loves watching the documentaries. He particularly enjoyed seeing how Mikel Arteta operates at Arsenal. Speaking on The Good, The Bad and The Football, Scholes said: ‘Yeah probably, but do you know what, for a fan they are brilliant to watch. I watched the Arsenal one. Not for a player, the players and the manager probably won’t like it, but for fans watching…City did it as well with Pep, it’s amazing watching people like Arteta, what he’s like. You learn a lot of stuff.’ He added: ‘As a player I can’t think of anything worse.’
Record fee for Manchester United
The documentary is set to cost Amazon more than any of their other Premier League films, with Manchester United receiving a record fee. Arsenal and Tottenham received around £10 million for their documentaries, according to reports, and the Red Devils will get more than that figure. Discussions were held about filming last season, but the club decided against it.
Club statement
Manchester United’s chief communications officer, Toby Craig, said: ‘Now is the right time to open our doors, so that for the first time our fans around the world can see behind the scenes of a club which means so much to so many people. This documentary will showcase Manchester United’s unique people, ambition and culture; from the iconic atmosphere at Old Trafford to the work that goes on behind the scenes every day at Carrington. We will share some of the stories of this historic club both with our fans and new audiences around the world as we compete at the highest level, both domestically and in the Champions League.’
The Manchester United All or Nothing documentary is scheduled for release in the summer of 2027.
