Manchester United are trying to make strides in the football world again. New chief executive Omar Berrada is playing his role in that and has told staff that the aim is to win the Premier League title in 2028, for the 150th anniversary of the club being formed.
Berrera joined United in June from rivals Man City, a move that shocked the football world and was seen as a coup for the Reds.
According to The Athletic, Berrada addressed employees during a meeting at Old Trafford last Wednesday and mapped out the ambitions shared by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the football hierarchy.
Project 150 coincides with the major milestone of United’s existence. The club was founded as Newton Heath, in 1978, and the name was changed to Manchester United in 1902.
The report also notes how Berrada also spoke about the women’s team winning their first ever title by that year, in equal prominence.
United need to be realistic and looking at results on the pitch this season, we’re some distance away from competing for league titles. Not now nor in 2028.
It’s not an impossible ask but it’s going to take a lot of work from where we are currently. That should go without saying.
