99: Manchester United to release documentary on 1999 treble
In light of the club's current difficulties, Manchester United supporters are welcome to indulge in nostalgia, as a new documentary series called "99" will look back on the team's most successful season ever.
In 1999, Alex Ferguson's team achieved a historic triple crown by winning the FA Cup, Champions League, and Premier League.
When rivals Manchester City won the treble last season, it was an unparalleled feat that took more than 20 years to replicate.
The three-part documentary 99, which will be available on Amazon Prime, will examine a season marked by drama, turmoil, and miracles.
There are several memorable moments from the season, including the Champions League semi-final victory over Juventus led by Roy Keane, the FA Cup semi-final goal by Ryan Giggs against Arsenal, and the European Cup victory by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a last-second goal.
