Omar Berrada confident Man Utd can deliver men's and women's titles by 2028

Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada remains confident the club can mark their 150th anniversary in 2028 by winning both the men's and women's league titles.
Berrada, who first told staff of his 'Project 150' vision in September last year, knows that represents a significant challenge with Ruben Amorim's side having just endured a worst top-flight season since relegation in 1973-74, while Chelsea continue to dominate the Women's Super League.
However, he believes marking a major milestone in the club's history since it was founded as Newton Heath in 1878 with double title success is realistic.
In an interview with the United We Stand fanzine to be published on Wednesday, Berrada said: 'It's establishing a series of targets within a timeframe so we can focus our efforts and energy on that goal.
'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?'
While United finished third in the WSL, 16 points behind champions Chelsea who also beat them in the FA Cup final, the men languished just three places above the Premier League relegation zone and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham.
Nevertheless, Berrada is sticking to his timetable.
He said: '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.'

Claudio Echeverri ‘a bit sore' as Man City wait on teenager's ankle injury

The 19-year-old revelled in an attacking role and scored from a free-kick as City thrashed Al Ain of Abu Dhabi 6-0 in Atlanta to secure their place in the last 16 of the Club World Cup. Yet the Argentinian, who only made his debut in the FA Cup final last month after arriving from River Plate in January, was forced off at half-time with a twisted ankle. A stunning free-kick from Echeverri as he nets his first City goal 🌟#FIFACWC | LIVE on — Manchester City (@ManCity) June 23, 2025 It was a disappointing end to a promising performance and one that suggested the youngster could have a role to play in Guardiola's reshaped squad in the coming season. Guardiola said Echeverri was 'a little bit sore' and had to be replaced at the interval. The City boss said: 'That's why he could not continue, but he's an incredible player – a big, big talent in small spaces – and I'm happy for him.' Guardiola went on to praise Echeverri's work ethic and dedication. He said: 'Since he arrived, in the three or four months with us, at the end of training sessions he was practising free-kicks with the goalkeeper, the wall and alone. The other ones did not practise. 'He was practising and practising and the work pays off at the end. The more you practise, the more chances you have. It was a fantastic goal.' Echeverri made his City debut in the FA Cup final (Nick Potts/PA) Goalkeeper Stefan Ortega was also impressed by Echeverri's performance, comparing him to another Argentinian forward in former City player and World Cup-winner Julian Alvarez. Ortega, who took the place of Ederson as Guardiola made 11 changes for the second Group G game, said: 'He is a good (free-kick) taker. He saw the gap in the wall and used it. 'He reminds me a bit of Julian Alvarez, same type of player, his finishing is incredible. 'He's a really good guy, a bit shy in the beginning but I think he can help us a lot.' Another player to catch the eye in City's stroll was left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, who was handed his debut following his £31million move from Wolves earlier this month. Rayan Ait-Nouri also shone on his City debut (Brynn Anderson/AP) Guardiola said: 'Wow. He had to defend in a back four, then make it a back five and he played really, really good. 'It's not for the first time. It was his first (City) game but he has played in the Premier League for many years. 'He can help us play in that role outside but then had to play as a holding midfielder. 'He is so clever in the final third, taking the right decisions to create more spaces. I'm really pleased for the game he played.'
