Manchester United are reportedly engaged in talks with Disney over a multi-million-dollar documentaries deal.

According to The Athletic, the documentaries would focus on United's period of unprecedented success under Sir Alex Ferguson before he called time on his iconic managerial career in 2013.

During a 26-year stay at Old Trafford, Ferguson won 13 league titles, five FA Cups and the Champions League on two occasions.

It is understood that talks have been ongoing for two years between United and the US streaming giants, and a deal is yet to be agreed to due to the Red Devils holding out for improved terms. 

United were offered better terms when discussions first began, and are looking to maximise the revenue from a potential deal as they aim to adhere to the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules (PSR).

Man United are in talks with Disney over a documentaries deal that would focus on their success under Sir Alex Ferguson

Erik ten Hag was unable to make any signings in January due to United's tight budget, and the club are now looking to diversify their revenue streams under new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

The proposed documentaries would include considerable interview time with Ferguson, who still regularly attends United matches despite leaving the dugout 11 years ago.

Club ambassadors such as Bryan Robson and Peter Schmeichel are also expected to give their insight if the documentaries deal is given the green light.

The Disney documentaries could follow on the back of a one-off Amazon documentary on United's Treble-winning season in 1998-99 that is set to air later this year for the 25th anniversary of the achievement.

A trailer was released earlier this month to give a sneak peek of what to expect, with David Beckham admitting that he worried he would never be able to play in England again after getting sent off at the 1998 World Cup for kicking Argentina's Diego Simeone, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confessed he felt sick before his Champions League heroics at the Nou Camp.

Disney's Welcome to Wrexham series, which follows the success of the Welsh club owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has been a massive hit with fans.

Striking a deal would also likely be a major coup for the streaming giants.

Prior to their documentary deal with Amazon, United had steered clear of being followed by behind-the-scenes cameras.

But they could now emulate other major clubs including Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Juventus who have all had documentaries commissioned by Amazon in recent seasons.
