Manchester United plan Europa League BBQ instead of bus parade

Europa League finalists Manchester United would celebrate winning the trophy with a low-key barbecue, while opponents Tottenham Hotspur are planning for an open-top bus parade.

The final in Bilbao on May 21 comes just four days before the end of the Premier League season, after which United fly to Malaysia and Hong Kong for a post-season tour. The tight turnaround means United will not hold a parade, in keeping with their last Europa League win in 2017 when there were no open-top bus celebrations.

United, in the event of victory at Estadio de San Mamés, would hold the gathering at their Carrington training ground for players, staff and their families.
