Liverpool fan here and I have to say it's a well worth watch. Cantona being his usual crazy self. If your a fan of football then it's worth a watch no matter the team you support.

There's Much To Enjoy If You Can Look Beyond The Vanity

Cowritten, co-produced and starring (and I do mean starring in very sense) Eric Cantona who is by all accounts (mostly his) the heart, soul and talent of Manchester United (he did write this, after all).
He performs (I mean speaks) in hyperbole, aphorisms, axioms and dictum and demands the camera loves him (he did produce this, after all).
And yet, and yet, as John Oliver would say this film is still very watchable for us of a certain age if you can set aside Monsieur Cantona's close-ups and puffery.
For the rest who can't remember, or aren't intertest in, all things Manchester United before 1991, including "Eric The Red" ... this film is probably not for you.

"One of the greatest clubs in football history"
resteban-945401 February 2022
Eric Cantona, the legend of Manchester United Football Club, tells us about the most representative moments in the history of one of the most iconic clubs in world football. A journey that goes through both crisis and glories of the "Red devils".
Regardless of whether you are a fan or not, "The United Way", is very well done, picks up crucial points in the career of Eric Cantona, how he became a Manchester legend and how he lived this journey with his teammates. The testimonies it collects (Beckham, Giggs, Bruce...) solidly pave the way for the documentary.
"The United Way, gains so much value in its realization, that it is enjoyable even for those unfamiliar with the beautiful game"

MUST WATCH if you're a United fan.

Nothing you already don't know/haven't seen in other docs, but I really liked the way the doc was made.
While all football fans *could* watch this, it may not be for everyone.
But it's a MUST WATCH if you're a United fan. The perspective on the history in this doc is unlike the other docs. Great cinematography, great music too!

As The Reds Go Marching On On On...
This review will be just a little bit biased because well, I have been a United boy since 2011 (which was a traumatic season).
Vin Diesel: it's all about family.
Guess what bro, that's the United Way. A documentary about the history of Man United, starting from one of the saddest day of the club. It's about how United recovered from this and went on to make history. It was amazing to see many of the legends, especially Cantona, as they narrated on the state of the club and the managers. Watching the goals was a treat. The end point for the documentary was a legendary one, and I was still amazed even though I knew about it beforehand.
It did felt a bit like a propaganda, especially Cantona who tried to hype the story. Felt a bit cringe at times I have to admit.
Overall, as a fan of MU this was a fun one to learn and enjoy. 8.5/10.

Should have been a masterpiece
robbie_the_c25 May 2021
This could have been a Manchester United version of 'The Last Dance'. Instead it was a rushed documentary that could of added so much more detail and stories. Learning more about the Busby Babes.
Learning more about the class of 92.
Learning more about the details behind the famous treble.
Learning how Sir Alex built a legacy beyond 1999.
It rushed through the greatest seasons of the clubs history and slowed down to talk about how great Eric Cantona was. Poor documentary.

Horrible documentary

Basically an Eric Cantona documentary
bestfriendsbecomestrange10 May 2021
This documentary focuses so much on Eric Cantona that it might as well be called "The Cantona Way". They gloss over so many things that lead up to United's rise, all to focus on him. His signing is highlighted several times before the hiring of Sir Alex Ferguson is even mentioned, and this feels more like a vanity project of his, rather than a genuine attempt to tell the story of Manchester United.
They talk about his sending off at Crystal Palace for far longer than they do about the win over Bayern Munich to secure the treble, the "class of 92" is barely mentioned and if you didn't know anything about Manchester United, you'd be forgiven for thinking that no-one else played for them in the mid-90s.
The documentary is overly simplistic with United's history, and ends with the treble success.
