5 bad teams more likely to taste success by 2028 than Manchester United
After a season in which the men finished 15th in the Premier League and the women third in the Super League, some 16 points behind champions Chelsea, Berrada told club fanzine United We Stand he believed they could both win their respective titles in 2028.
'Can the team win the Premier League title by 2028? Of course,' Berrada said. 'We've just finished 15th and it seems an impossible task. But why not aim for it? Why not do everything in our power?'
Sounds wildly optimistic to us. But it did get the sports desk wondering which other bad sides might have a better chance at success than the Premier League strugglers by 2028.

CK Hutchison first-half profit drops 92% on one-off costs of UK Vodafone-Three merger
CK Hutchison Holdings, the Hong Kong-listed conglomerate controlled by billionaire Li Ka-shing , posted a 92 per cent plunge in its interim profits, as various one-off costs amounting to HK$10.47 billion (US$1.3 billion) weighed on its performance, according to a stock exchange filing on Thursday. Advertisement The company, which operates businesses in ports, retail, telecommunications and energy, recorded a net profit of HK$852 million (US$109 million) in the six months ended June, compared with HK$10.2 billion a year earlier. Earnings per share fell 92 per cent to 22 HK cents from HK$2.66 a year earlier. The profit drop was mainly due to a one-time non-cash loss of HK$10.47 billion from the completion of the UK merger of Three UK with Vodafone, the filing said. Underlying net profit excluding one-off items rose 11 per cent from a year earlier to HK$11.36 billion on growth in the company's ports and global retail businesses. Total revenue also improved by 3 per cent to HK$240.66 billion in the first half. Victor Li Tzar-kuoi, chairman of CK Asset and CK Hutchison.
