No parade for you: Man United stars will have to celebrate with BARBECUE if they win the Europa League
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is obsessed with cutting costs.
Manchester United's season depends heavily on their Europa League final against Tottenham on May 21, but even if they win, celebrations will be kept modest.
Rather than a victory parade through Manchester, the Red Devils have planned a simple barbecue at their Carrington training ground for players, staff and families.
The tight schedule — including a final Premier League match, a post-season tour of Asia and upcoming international duty — makes organising a parade unfeasible.
A victory would help financially and offer a Champions League spot, but the real work lies in rebuilding the club with consistency and smart decisions.
Meanwhile, Spurs are expected to hold a full parade if they win the final as they also look to salvage the disastrous 2024/25 campaign.
