“99” – The Definitive Story of Manchester United’s Iconic Treble-Winning Season – to Launch May 17th on Prime Video Worldwide [VIDEO]

The official trailer reveals the inside story of a remarkable season that hung in the balance until the final minute

99, a new three-part documentary series that celebrates the year Manchester United won the treble, is set to premiere next month on Prime Video globally. An official trailer released today offers a first look at the series, which tells the remarkable story of how, in 1999, Manchester United made football history by winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League.

The documentary follows the astonishing road to greatness with untold stories from inside the team, revealing the dressing room conflicts, personal struggles, and miraculous moments behind the legendary season, which culminated in the most unbelievable comeback victory in football.

Despite dominating domestic football during the 90s, manager Alex Ferguson was yet to restore Manchester United’s European glory when in 1999, it arrived in an unprecedented fashion. In just ten days, Ferguson’s team of home-grown talent and international stars won three trophies, the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League; achieving the first ‘treble’ in English football history. This destiny hung in the balance until the final moments of the 1999 UEFA Champions League final, when Manchester United capped off their incredible season, scoring two goals in stoppage time. 25 years later, filmmaker Sampson Collins, with access to the team and new revelations and footage from inside the dressing room, explores the excitement, unparalleled determination, and miraculous twists of fate leading up to the remarkable achievement.

99 is produced by John Battsek’s Ventureland, in association with Studio 99 and Buzz16. Director Sampson Collins’ three-part documentary series with contributions from Sir Alex Ferguson and the 1998/99 Manchester United players and coaches, will leave viewers in awe of a legendary season of football.
