MU and the 'poor man' style celebration plan (if they win the Europa League)

Tottenham, Manchester United's Europa League final opponents, are planning an open-top bus parade through Haringey if Ange Postecoglou's side win their first trophy in 17 years.

Liverpool, the new Premier League champions of 2024/25, are also set to make a beeline for the city with their 20th trophy, while Newcastle have sparked a festive mood in the North East following their League Cup final victory.

For United, there was no mention of a parade even though they beat Tottenham on 21 May in Bilbao. According to the explanation, coach Ruben Amorim and his team have a pretty tight schedule. They have to play their final Premier League match just four days later, then fly to Malaysia and Hong Kong for a post-season tour.

In addition, the MU leaders also cited the reason that no celebration parade has taken place in more than a decade, despite the club winning the FA Cup twice and the Europa League once (season 2016/17). The last time they celebrated on the bus in front of 100,000 fans was when they won the Premier League in 2012/13, which was also Sir Alex Ferguson's last season.

The last MU bus parade took place in 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson's final season.

However, there will still be celebrations for the Europa League title (if won). MU plans to hold a barbecue party at Carrington training ground for players, staff and their families.

The modest celebration was appropriate in the context of the MU Board of Directors continuously cutting expenses. For the Europa League final, the players only received two free tickets each, while the club's staff were not given tickets. This forced Coach Amorim to pay for tickets for 30 staff and their families to watch the match at San Mames.

In addition, MU has also cancelled the end-of-year awards ceremony, which has been held solemnly at the end of each season for many years. Internal awards for both men and women, including the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award, will be presented at the Carrington training ground.
