Manchester United have launched an ambitious blueprint to win their 21st top-flight title within the next three years and stay clear of Liverpool in the record books.
The project, titled 'Mission 21', is part of a wider 'Project 150' initiative coinciding with United's 150th anniversary in 2028, and was unveiled to staff by Sir Dave Brailsford, who is on the club's football board and is Ineos director of sport.
The former British Cycling supremo's plan involves scouring the world for the stars of the future, buying youngsters with potential and developing them into world-class talents, rather than throwing money at established players.
