Ratcliffe Aims for Manchester United to Win Premier League by 2028
Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe remains steadfast in his ambition for the club to secure a Premier League title by 2028, aligning with the club’s 150th anniversary.
Despite challenges such as financial constraints and on-field struggles, Ratcliffe believes this goal is attainable. He remarked, “I don’t think it’s mission impossible. I think it’s good to have goals and objectives.”
Ratcliffe acknowledges that the path to success requires time and strategic planning, drawing parallels to clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool, which underwent periods of restructuring before returning to winning ways.
He stated, “If you look at Arsenal, if you look at Liverpool, if you look at the period of time it took them to get the house in order and get back to winning ways, that’s probably slightly on the short end of the spectrum. But it’s not impossible.”
The club has launched “Project 150,” an initiative aimed at revitalizing Manchester United’s competitive edge by the 2028 milestone.
Chief Executive Omar Berrada emphasized the importance of setting clear objectives, saying, “You have to set an objective right? So you focus everybody’s minds on where you’re trying to get to and it can’t just be open-ended.”
While the journey ahead is challenging, Ratcliffe remains optimistic about Manchester United’s future.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
