Manchester United: the club with the most top-flight titles in England, one of the most valuable football clubs in the world, a stadium where dreams come true, a team that rewrites history every time it takes to the pitch, a footballing behemoth that embodies the spirit of rising from the ashes. Simply put, Manchester United needs no introduction.Manchester United: For the Glory 2021 Full Documentary Download
Since Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, however, the club has slipped down a few rungs from the ladder of success; the club has now gone without a Premier League title for seven years, which, since they won 13 in the first 21 years, adds a bit of context to the club’s struggles on the pitch. What’s more? It doesn’t seem like 2021 will be the year the barren spell ends.For a filmmaker to set a documentary on a storied club such as Manchester United with its rich legacy could have been an easy task; there are several subjects of topical relevance — from the on pitch struggles of Ole Gunnar Solskjær to the boardroom battles of club chief executive Ed Woodward, or the club’s most important on-pitch events, the fans’ distrust of the club’s ownership group backed by the Glazer family — any one of these could have made for a riveting documentary.Instead, Matt Salmon opts for a simplistic retelling of historical facts with the help of archival footage. The contents of this 64-minute documentary is the same as what one can gain by a casual reading of Manchester United’s Wikipedia page. That is beside the fact there is a total of two voices throughout the documentary, which, though as well-informed as they may be, puts a dreary spin on the narration. At some point, a combination of all these factors does make the ticking away of frames a painful process to watch.
