Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada Reveals 2028 Premier League Title Ambition

‎Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada remains committed to winning the Premier League in 2028 to mark the club’s 150th anniversary.

‎This goal persists despite a historically unsuccessful season for Ruben Amorim’s team.

‎The 20-time English champions endured their worst top-flight season since their 1973/74 relegation, finishing in 15th place. They finished 42 points behind champions Liverpool.

‎Furthermore, they were defeated by Tottenham in the Europa League final, meaning they will have no European football next season.

‎Berrada told staff of his “Project 150″ vision in September last year, setting out his aim to win the Premier League and the Women’s Super League (WSL) titles in 2028.

‎While United’s men’s team has a mountain to climb, the women’s side, which has never won the WSL, will have to dislodge Chelsea, who have won the past six titles.

‎Manchester United finished third in the WSL, 16 points behind champions Chelsea, who also beat them in the FA Cup final.

‎Berrada, formerly the chief football operations officer at Manchester City, remains optimistic about the club’s future. He believes that, despite the significant challenges, a double title success within three years is still within reach.

‎”It’s establishing a series of targets within a timeframe so we can focus our efforts and energy on that goal,” he said in an interview with the United We Stand fanzine, to be published on Wednesday.

‎”Can the team win the Premier League title by 2028? Of course.

‎”We’ve just finished 15th and it seems an impossible task. But why not aim for it? Why not do everything in our power?”

‎United, in three years, will mark 150 years since the club was founded as Newton Heath in 1878.

‎They have not been crowned English champions since Alex Ferguson’s final season in charge in 2012/13, but Berrada remains confident.

‎”I firmly believe we can do it. We have two or three summer windows to build a team to start competing to win the Premier League.”
