They haven’t won the title in eleven years, and judging by how things are going, they won’t win it this season either. Although it doesn’t seem like they have the foundation to even dream about it in the near future, Manchester United has set a goal to bring the Premier League title back to Old Trafford within four years. According to The Athletic, the club’s new executive director, Omar Berrada, has announced an overly ambitious plan, called the “Project 150,” aimed at winning the English title by 2028. By that time, United will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the club’s founding, and Berrada believes that winning their 21st league title would be the perfect gift for the fans on such a significant occasion.ETH’s assistant reveals the reason behind Cristiano Ronaldo’s Man Utd axingHe addressed employees during a meeting at Old Trafford last Wednesday and mapped out the ambitions shared by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the football hierarchy. He tried to strike an aspirational tone, accepting it would take lots of hard work, rather than come across bullish. Berrada’s bold statements were received by an audience of staffers in a mixed mood in the wake of the the job cuts that are seeing the 1,000-strong workforce reduced by a quarter. People who have been at the club for several years have departed, prompting feelings of upset and despondency, while others are energised at the prospect of the club becoming more driven by sporting objectives, writes the Athletic.Man United’s disagreement with European footballBut the current situation, four years until the desired title, Erik ten Hag’s team sits in 11th place after five games in the new season, with two wins and one draw from five matches. Worst of all, it doesn’t seem like there’s much hope with the Dutch coach, as there has been little visible progress even after two seasons under his leadership. Nevertheless, Berrada, who spent the previous 13 years helping Manchester City build their footballing empire, publicly supported Ten Hag ahead of the derby against Liverpool, where United would suffer a heavy defeat.”Erik has our full support. We worked very closely with him during this transfer window, and we will continue to work closely with him to help him get the best out of the team. Do we still trust him? Absolutely! I believe Erik is the right coach for us, and we fully support him” Berrada said at the time.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 6Saturday14:30: (5.30) Newcastle (4.00) Man.City (1.63)17:00: (1.22) Arsenal (7.25) Leicester (15.0)17:00: (2.30) Brentford (3.50) West Ham (3.25)17:00: (1.75) Chelsea (3.60) Brighton (4.90)17:00: (2.85) Everton (3.35) Crystal Palace (2.65)17:00: (2.45) Nott.Forest (3.40) Fulham (3.10)19:30: (7.75) Wolverhampton (4.80) Liverpool (1.40)Sunday16:00: (4.40) Ipswich (3.50) Aston Villa (1.85)18:30: (2.35) Man.Utd.
