Manchester United's chief executive Omar Berrada has expressed his confidence in the club's ability to clinch both the men's and women's league titles by their 150th anniversary in 2028.
Despite acknowledging the challenges faced, with the men's team having their worst top-flight season since 1973-74 and Chelsea dominating the Women's Super League, Berrada remains optimistic about achieving this milestone for the club, which was founded as Newton Heath in 1878.
In an upcoming interview with the United We Stand fanzine, Berrada outlined his "Project 150" vision that he first shared with staff last September, setting a series of targets within a specific timeframe to concentrate the club's efforts and energy.
"It's establishing a series of targets within a timeframe so we can focus our efforts and energy on that goal," Berrada said.
"Can the team win the Premier League title by 2028? Of course."
The men's team finished just above the relegation zone and losing the Europa League final to Tottenham, and the women's team finished third in the WSL, 16 points behind champions Chelsea.

Nonetheless, Berrada has questioned why they shouldn't aim high and do everything within their power to reach their goals.
Highlighting the importance of the upcoming summer transfer windows to build a competitive team, Berrada added: "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."
United's men's team have made a solid start to the summer transfer window with the £62.5million addition of Wolves forward Matheus Cunha while they are also keen on a move for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo.
