'Man Utd can’t wait 30 years for title like Liverpool' - Fletcher

Manchester United “cannot allow” their wait for Premier League title glory to extend as long as Liverpool’s, says Darren Fletcher, with the Red Devils tipped to come back into contention within “the next two or three years”.

The former Red Devils midfielder told beIN SPORTS: “Manchester United cannot allow that (a 30-year title wait). The current run is bad enough as it is.

“We need to see Manchester United winning the league in the next two or three years down the line.

“That's being realistic. The bar has been raised in terms of what it takes to win the league.

“Man City and Liverpool have taken it to an even higher level. That's where Manchester United have to get to.

“United have to be ready for Man City and Liverpool to drop off, which will probably come in a couple of years.

“I can't see Pep Guardiola still being at Manchester City in two or three years. Jurgen Klopp, too. Maybe it's wishful thinking.

“Man United have to put themselves in a position to capitalise if that happens. Next season I expect a better campaign and in two or three years, I am expecting title challenges and potentially winning.”
