And who would play him?
One studio must have this on their backlog which could focus on the 86-93 period.

Film When will there be a film about Sir Alex?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Imagine it'll be coming soon.
Probably Dwayne Johnson playing Sir Alex and Kevin Hart playing Giggs.
Unfortunately Mark McManus died in the 90s.
Why not Stephen Graham? Scouse as they come but the bloke can act, he's already played Billy Bremner and he doesn't seem so partisan that he wouldn't involve himself in an interesting project concerning one of Liverpool FC's rivals.

Jim Carrey.
I'd love if they did a documentary in the style of The Last Dance, centered around that 98-99 team, or even the 2007/08 one.
Unfortunately there isn’t the same amount of behind the scenes footage. Or maybe there is and we just don’t know about it.
What about David Moyes? Seems to be cut from the same cloth.
I don't know what it is about Graham, but he irrationally annoys me. Think he just has one of those smug faces, makes anything he is in unwatchable. It would be sickening if they released a film on Sir Alex and he was in it.
John Cena as Gary Neville
Scarlett Johansson as David Beckham
Eric Cantona as Eric Cantona
Idris Elba as Paul Ince
Ryan Reynolds as Paul Scholes
would love to see a film about him that was a bit off centre of what you expect. Maybe his time working as a Glasgow docks union steward and his time at Aberdeen would be interesting. How/why he left Rangers having been outstanding up top would be a good inclusion too. I think focusing on the first few years of his United career up to winning his first League title would be great viewing.
Why does it always have to be men playing these roles? We're in 2020 for fecks sake.
When will there be a film? When you get off your bleeding ass horsey and do something about it. Sitting on redcafe moaning about it is not going to do any good.
As long as Dolph Lundgren plays Otmar Hitzfeld I'm all for it.
John Cena as Gary Neville
Scarlett Johansson as David Beckham
Eric Cantona as Eric Cantona
Idris Elba as Paul Ince
Ryan Reynolds as Paul Scholes
A movie won’t do him justice I feel - a 30 for 30 style documentary with a similar depth to the OJ one would be far better I think.
I agree with Sir As Feck.
Based on his role in The Thick Of It, Peter Capaldi would make a good Fergie,
I can't believe it took this post for me to realize what SirAF actually meant. All these years!
14th October 2031 maybe. Could be wrong though.
Sir AF: Tommy Lee Jones!

That's fair enough, and as a diehard Scouse red I must admit it would be a bit weird. I like him though, I agree he's got the look of a proper little scrote but he carries it well for me.Scarlett Johansson
