Man Utd CEO Omar Berrada maintains 2028 Premier League title goal

Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada maintains the belief that the club can win the Premier League by 2028.

Omar Berrada traded the blue side of Manchester for the red side when joining Man Utd as the Chief Executive Officer in 2024, reported as the club’s first outside hire for the CEO role.

Overseeing operations at Old Trafford throughout the 2024/25 campaign, Man Utd’s worst ever Premier League finish has not diverted Berrada’s hopes for the club in the not-too-distant future.

When speaking to the “United We Stand Fanzine”, Berrada appeared optimistic about United’s future prospects.

"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.

- Omar Berrada, Man Utd CEO

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

"We have two or three summer windows to build a team to start competing to win the Premier League.

"Nobody is saying we don't want to win it until then. We're setting ourselves a target with a specific time frame to go and aim for.

"You've heard [minority owner] Jim [Ratcliffe] say 'if you're wearing the United shirt then you must win'. That's exactly how I feel.”

While many believed the failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the 2025/26 term would considerably constrain the club in the summer transfer window, they have already added £62.5m Matheus Cunha to their ranks, with reports suggesting they’re looking to acquire Bryan Mbeumo and a striker.

The absence of European football will provide an opportunity for Ruben Amorim to focus on the Premier League and the domestic cups next term, though the standard of the Premier League is expected to be as high as ever and a return to Europe will not come easy, let alone Premier League title triumph.
