“I firmly believe we can do it” – Manchester United chief Omar Berrarda predicts year in which Red Devils can win Premier League title again

Manchester United chief executive officer Omar Berrada strongly believes United could win the Premier League title in 2028. While acknowledging the complexities, Berrada feels United could build a team that could compete for the league title soon.

In a discussion with the United We Stand fanzine, Berrada was asked (via BBC Sport):

He replied:

Manchester United have failed to qualify for the UCL since their last outing in the 2023-24 edition, where they got eliminated in the group stage. Last season, United blew a huge chance to qualify for the prestigious competition, having lost the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur.

In the 2024-25 Premier League season, United failed to register a convincing display, and they were in the bottom half of the standings (15th). However, the Red Devils are looking to bolster their squad in a bid to compete in the Premier League next season.

Manchester United have signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves and are reportedly working to sign a striker as well. Enhancing their squad strength could help them rewrite their wrongs and change their undesirable fortunes next term.

United’s chief executive, Omar Berrada, has also likened Ruben Amorim’s situation at Old Trafford to that of Pep Guardiola at City. He also highlighted that Guardiola believed in his principles despite early turbulence at the Etihad.

In an interview with The Athletic, Berrada said (via United In Focus):

He added:

Ruben Amorim’s principles and tactical doctrines have been vehemently criticized since he became United’s head coach. However, many believe that he needs to sign some players who soothe his pattern.

Thus, next season will be a good opportunity for Amorim to prove his doubters wrong at Manchester United.

A Manchester United fan who grew up in a family of Red Devils supporters, he started his journey as an ardent football fan in his childhood. He used to spend hours watching the sport with his family and developed a knack for writing about the beautiful game over the years.

He is a huge admirer of Paul Pogba owing to the midfielder’s ability to thread passes from anywhere on the pitch and his favorite manager is Jose Mourinho due to the Portuguese’s tactical mind. He feels France’s triumph in 2018 is his all-time favorite World Cup moment, and reckons Lamine Yamal and Endrick could replicate the rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Abel always strives to verify information, especially statistics, before penning a word and offers constructive but not defamatory criticisms.
