I think that has to be a fairly popular opinion at this point and not unlikely to happen.
By 2050, there will be a WCL - world champions league played on a yearly basis which will be made possible by the reduction in travel time due to commercial supersonic and hypersonic travel.
United to be at the very top of the tree in European football, expect a 3 finals in 4 years type of thing.
Fans being able to vote on substitutions.

Chelsea will not win another league title for the next 10 years and will gradually return to being a mid-table club.

Something related either to PEDs in the sport or a link between football and head trauma/CTE
I don't think anyone would find this improbable - It's just a matter of time. Just takes the right superstar leaving one club for another and it'll be on our doorstep.
Kane, Neymar, Mbappe and Messi could all get there with a move.
Messi, PSG would break the £300m marker for as would Chinese clubs. He'd still be the ultimate purchase to put an oil club on the map, and he's still good for another 5yrs if he can be arsed.

United fans being a minority here.
Cant see that happening. Too many stars have to align. The big clubs all have to have a bad season, the Leicester type side will have to have their best ever season, and those teams like Spurs always hovering on the edge of success will have to bottle it. Other than Spurs bottling it, the others seem really unlikely.
