Whether you’re a fan of Manchester United, or just a fan of football in general, an upcoming documentary has been announced that is pretty much guaranteed to have jumped to the top of your must-watch list.

The United Way is co-written and narrated by Eric Cantona, and it will look at four decades of change on and off the pitch for Manchester United.

It will feature exclusive interviews with some of the biggest players in the team’s history, including Beckham, Giggs, Schmeichel, Docherty, as well as Bryan Robson, Ryan Giggs, Brian Kidd, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Teddy Sheringham, and Nicky Butt.

The documentary will also speak to musicians and politicians about how the football team shaped the city at large.

It will also include extensive archival footage, and will be scored by five-time Oscar-nominated composer George Fenton (Gandhi, Cry Freedom).

The United Way will be available on NOW and via Sky Documentaries from Monday, 24 May, and will also be available to buy on Blu-ray and Download-to-Own from Monday, 10 May.
