Man United to leave Aston Villa in the dust as £10m+ documentary announcement drops
Manchester United will move further clear of Aston Villa financially this season.
The Villa Park faithful have long voiced frustration towards the financial rules in the Premier League.
They have had a negative impact on what the Villans have been able to spend in the transfer market.
Key players have also had to leave as part of that, with the likes of Jhon Duran and Moussa Diaby leaving previously and Morgan Rogers strongly linked with an exit this summer.
Meanwhile, the so-called big six have been able to continuously spend and sign the best players from other Premier League sides.
Manchester United are one of those and the gap only looks set to extend as a documentary is set to be filmed at Old Trafford.
Manchester United announce Amazon Prime All or Nothing documentary
Amazon have been producing fly on the wall documentaries for Premier League clubs for many years.
They started with Manchester City in 2018 as Pep Guardiola's centurion's side won the title and an FA Cup.
The series continued with Tottenham before the latest showcased all the goings on at Arsenal in the 2021-22 season.
That was the last time the Prime Video cameras were inside a Premier League side, but that is set to change for the upcoming campaign.
Amazon announced a new series of All or Nothing on Monday that will give "unprecedented access" into Manchester United.
The new edition will release globally next summer, but it is the monetary gains from the show that will raise eyebrows at Villa Park and beyond.
Aston Villa blown away by Man United's latest £10m+ agreement
The Red Devils are arguably the most well known football club in the entire world and earn increased sponsorship rates as a result.
They reportedly earn £60million for their Snapdragon front of shirt deal, while Villa earned just £20m from Betano.
That leaves a gulf between the Premier League's third and fourth place sides and that will only grow further this summer.
Man United's deal with Amazon for the documentary is likely to reach upwards of £10m given that they previously rejected a deal at that figure in 2025.
That would have been the largest fee ever paid for one of their All or Nothing documentaries but was still turned down.
It is reasonable to assume that a larger fee has now been tabled for them to accept for the upcoming campaign.
That sort of money is something that the Villans may get for a kit sponsors, but would be fortunate to come close in any other deal.
It all just proves the gulf between emerging sides like Villa and the Premier League's established big six.
Unai Emery and Co. need to continue to box clever with everything they do, while Man United can throw caution to the wind with all their new cash.
