“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

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.
