'I wanted to know he had a clear plan and he does'
United We Stand fanzine editor Andy Mitten spoke to BBC Radio Manchester about a recent interview he did with Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada: "I felt it was important to put issues to him such as redundancies, ticket prices and protests - he fronted up and didn't shirk anything and I think it is really important that we communicate. It was an interesting interview and he is a highly intelligent interview."I went into the interview probably as the lowest I have felt as a Manchester United fan - after the game in Bilbao and a wretched season. I wanted to know that the main decision maker had a clear plan and he does. He said on the record that the 'pain is behind us' and the 'tough decisions have been made.'"There was loads of side angles, such as him reading books on tactics on Hungarian football. It shows how deep he is going to learn about Manchester United."

5 bad teams more likely to taste success by 2028 than Manchester United
There is dreaming big and then there is just dreaming, and Omar Berrada, the Manchester United CEO, seems to sit firmly in the latter category. 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.

Omar Berrada confident Man Utd can deliver men's and women's titles by 2028
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?' Manchester United lost the Women's FA Cup final to Chelsea (Jonathan Brady/PA) 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.'
