Earlier today, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim in a press conference told reporters of the club's focus to win the English Premier League title before or by 2028. The Portuguese manager however admitted that club is in a very difficult situation at the moment but is very optimistic that they'll bounce back to winning ways as well as become of the most formidable English clubs. Considering the performance and inconsistency of Manchester United in the last decade, I think the timeframe Ruben Amorim wants to achieve his plans is bit short. Do you think he can actualize that before or by 2028? Let me read your thoughts

2028 is insanely ambitious considering the absolute mess this club has been in for over a decade. Amorim expects United to be a title-winning machine in four years, when the team can hardly run four decent games together. That is delusional. This team is an absolute mess. Overpaid, underperforming, prone to injuries, mentally weak. Who the hell wants to buy Antony for £85m? They cannot even properly sell players. Rashford's stock has fallen while they are about to lose £48m on Sancho

And no Champions League = no top-tier signings. The top players refuse to participate on a team lacking clear direction. Right now, Aston Villa has more transfer market pull than United. United must burn it all down and rebuild cleverly, as Liverpool did under Klopp. Though that's exactly what's destroying them, Amorim is entering a club that still believes big spending = success. Indeed, MAYBE he can compete in 4-5 years if INEOS gives him complete control and they start signing young, eager athletes instead of overpriced "stars." But if they keep committing the same brain-dead errors? Not a chance in hell

honestly I am reading from the very same book as you. man united to win the Premier League by 2028? That is just something out of a sci-fi movie with how they look now! take their financial chaos. 300 million lost in three years? that is not a hiccup, it is a full blown crisis. They’re closing off every faucet they can ,letting employees go , lowering salaries for players. And you feel like you’re just lost in the dark.

now for the squad, sure they brought in yoro and de ligt, but let’s not act like that solved everything. As paul Scholes himself said, they need seven new signings to be come back. Seven! That is like rebuilding half the squad. Their center defense remains full of holes, more than swiss cheese, and the attack is as disjointed as ever.

but the real kicker? The money drama. They still owe the other clubs a transfer debts for 319 £ million, 154 m £ of which is due this year alone. how are they supposed to purchase new players with such a scenario looming over them? It’s like going shopping with a maxed-out credit card but saying: “don’t worry, I’ll pay you tomorrow!”

all of that combined:financial shit-show, a half baked squad and management that appears to have lost their bloody minds and that 2028 target you mentioned sounds less like a plan and more like a bad joke. Unless there’s some miracle. new ownership, real financial strategy, and youth development,this whole thing is pipe dream. at this rate? not happening.
