15th placed Man United ‘could win Premier League by 2028'
Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada has set a target for both the men's and women's teams to win their respective Premier League titles by 2028.
Berrada's 'Project 150' vision aims to achieve this double title success to coincide with the club's 150th anniversary.
The men's team finished 15th in the Premier League, their worst top-flight season since 1973-74, while the women's team came third in the WSL, 16 points behind champions Chelsea.
Berrada acknowledges the ambitious nature of the goals but believes they are achievable with strategic team building over the next few summer transfer windows.
Despite cost-cutting measures and recent poor performances, Berrada is confident that manager Ruben Amorim is the right person to lead the team's turnaround, viewing his mid-season arrival as an investment for future success.

Lauren James ‘feeling good' after injury and ready for ‘pressure' of Euro 2025
England forward Lauren James says she 'never doubted' that she would be ready for Euro 2025 after recovering from a hamstring injury and doesn't 'feel the pressure' of delivering for the Lionesses. James missed the end of the club season with Chelsea and has not played since the end of March but was named in Sarina Wiegman's squad for the Euros. The 23-year-old scored three times and made three further assists during the Women's World Cup group stage two years ago before her red card against Nigeria in the last-16. Lucy Bronze, James' team-mate at Chelsea, says the forward has gone to 'another level' this season, with Wiegman and Sonia Bompastor praising her 'massive improvement' both on and off the ball earlier this year. But after a frustrating 'stop-start' season with injuries, James said she is 'feeling good' and the availability of arguably the country's most talented forward is a huge boost ahead of England's Euros defence. "I never really doubted myself,' James said. 'I think as soon as you have a doubt in your head, then it's always negative thoughts. I always had in my head that I was going to make it. 'Obviously I didn't tell people that. I took it day by day. Lucy [Bronze] and I always kept in touch. She always would say, 'You'll be there.' Then obviously having that support, it always makes you kind of think, 'Oh, yeah, I'll be there as well.'" With each member of the squad partnering up, right back Bronze, who is heading to her seventh major tournament with England at the age of 33, was sat alongside James during England's media day at St George's Park. Bronze said Chelsea, who won an unbeaten domestic treble under Bompastor but fell short in the Women's Champions League semi-finals, could have been even more dominant had James been fit for longer spells. 'This season she's improved past what other people have expected,' Bronze said. 'I always knew she was capable of what we've seen this year. She's taken her game to another level. 'If she'd been fit all season, Chelsea could have had an even better season and England's results could have been better as well, because we all know that she's that good. "But it's important that she looks after herself. Like she said about being injured, she's always been focused on coming back and being 100 per cent. It's important that we're all aware that she's coming back from injury. 'She doesn't need to put pressure on herself to win England a game because we have some of the best forwards in the world playing in the England squad. Obviously, LJ is one of them, but we have plenty of players to dig in, put in performances and get us results.' James said that she does not notice the expectation that her ability and profile often leads to, and added that she has learned from her previous major tournament at the World Cup after being suspended for the quarter-finals and semi-finals due to her red card. ' I don't really feel pressure,' James said. 'I think everyone's here for a reason. Everyone brings different qualities. That's what makes a team. Obviously you learn from things that may have happened in the first tournament. You can take your learnings into this tournament."
