Why Man Utd will not hold a parade if they win Europa League

If Manchester United win the Europa League on May 21 against Tottenham, don’t expect an open-top bus parade to celebrate.

Both clubs have had rough seasons—United are 16th in the Premier League , while Spurs are 17th—and they’ve got league games and international duties right after the final.

As a result, The Times report that United do not think it is appropriate to hold a major party.

Instead, United will throw a relaxed barbecue for players and staff the day after the game if they win.

Spurs, though, are expected to go all out with a parade if they bag their first European trophy since 1984 and their first piece of silverware of any description since 2008.

For context: United didn’t hold a parade after winning the Europa League in 2017 either, a season that also saw them win the EFL Cup.
