Manchester United have ended secret talks over a record-breaking Amazon Prime access-all-areas documentary next season after manager Ruben Amorim failed to give the green light. 

According to The Athletic, the Red Devils were locked in negotiations with Amazon towards the end of last campaign over an “All or Nothing” series. 

Amazon were willing to offer more than £10 million, but United pulled out of negotiations after concluding it could distract from the progress of the first team. 

Amorim was reportedly not comfortable with the potential intrusion on the first team and that mainly contributed towards their withdrawal from talks. 

Meanwhile, aspects of the commercial agreement and time pressure of the upcoming season were believed to be contributing factors as well. 

United’s financial troubles are well documented, with the club’s debut standing at more than £700m. 

Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe even claimed in March the Premier League titans were in danger of going bust by Christmas had they not taken a series of cost-cutting measures. 

They recently suffered another financial blow after their partnership with Blockchain company Tezos ended, with the club unveiling their new training kit without a sponsor. 

The news of Tezos’ partnership ending came shortly after it emerged that Hotel chain Marriott would not extend its sponsorship deal.

Agreeing a deal with Amazon would have lightened their financial concerns, but the idea was not feasible and didn’t receive support from the football department.
