Man Utd’s 2028 EPL aim: Ex-star Butt finds it the king of all jokes

Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt believes Jim Ratcliffe’s grand plan to win the Premier League by 2028 has no chance of becoming a reality. 

Project 150 is the United co-owner’s blueprint, which includes returning the title to Old Trafford within three years to celebrate the club’s 150th anniversary. Butt, however said after a “disaster” of a season — United are currently a lowly 13th in the table having lost 12 times in the Premier League so far this term — that such an ambition was way beyond the reach of the fallen English giants. 

“That ain’t going to happen. It’s going to be a long way off,” Butt told the Daily Mail. “Even if you got David Gill [former chief executive] and Sir Alex [Ferguson, legendary former coach] back there, it’s going to be a struggle for a long time,” Butt added.
