As the team’s performance on the field declined toward the end of the season, Manchester United called off the organization’s customary end-of-season awards dinner, citing a desire to avoid creating any unnecessary distractions for the forthcoming FA Cup final against Manchester City.

At the end of the season, the team usually throws a dinner at its stadium, Old Trafford, to bestow prizes, such as the Sir Matt Busby player of the year award and recognition for breakthrough young talent. The me𝚗’s and wоmen’s first teams, as well as academy players, coaches, club employees, supporters, and sponsors, attend.

Nevertheless, United’s season has been incredibly disappointing, and manager Erik Ten Hag is figҺting for his job. Before Christmas, they were eliminated from the Champions League at the group round. With fourteen losses, they are now ranked ninth in the Premier League standings and are figҺting for a spot in the Europa Conference League or Europa League. Since United still has to play its neighbor Manchester City in the FA Cup final at the end of the month, there is still hope for some success.

The dinner, according to the club, was originally planned for May 20, the week before United’s match against City on May 25. However, after consulting with Ten Hag and the football leadership team, it was determined that the players shouldn’t be distracted during the game week. There won’t be an awards dinner, but the players will still receive awards chosen by their teammates, coaches, and supporters.

According to Crafton, there still a chance for the Red Devils to salvage some of their season if they manage an unexpecteԀ win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

In the event that Ten Hag’s team wins the domestic tournament on May 25, they will also be eligible to play in the Europa League.

Under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, the United players last decided to postpone their end-of-season awards presentation in 2021–2022.

On that occasion, even after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Norwegian coach, was fired, the 20-time English champions went through a very trying time.

A celebration and award ceremony for United Wоmen’s Academy’s Player of the Year winners has already taken place. The U-21 and U-16 teams received these awards.
