How to watch ‘99’ online — stream Man United 1999 Treble movie from anywhere

Prime Video's latest sports documentary, "99", details Manchester United's Treble-winning 1998/99 season. There are three episodes covering the season to crown all seasons, climaxing with a trio of trophies secured over the course of 10 glorious days. Read on for how to watch "99" online from anywhere with a VPN – and potentially for free!

It was the first example of an English soccer side winning a domestic treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League and to mark the 25th anniversary of the campaign, manager Sir Alex Ferguson, plus players including David Beckham, Gary Neville, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Paul Scholes and more share their untold stories and personal struggles.

The Premier League and FA Cup triumphs were all well and good but it's the Champions League final against Bayern Munich that provides the denouement to the story. No spoilers, but suffice to say it's the most incredible finish to a European final in history and summed up the never-say-die spirit fostered by Ferguson.

Amazon Prime Video's latest foray into the sports documentary market after the success of its 'All or Nothing' series is produced by the same team that put together the recent Netflix series "Beckham," so you're in for a treat.
