Manchester United will not hold an open-top bus parade if they win the Europa League this season.

United and Spurs both have Premier League games, their final of the season, four days after the final, and Ruben Amorim & Co. will fly out to Asia on the same day for a post-season tour. Players from both teams will then be required to report for international duty with their respective nations in June.

It leaves little time for trophy celebrations and, according to The Times, United will instead host a barbecue for players, staff and their families the day after the final, on Thursday, May 22, should they triumph in Spain.

The Times report that Spurs are expected hold a parade should they win their first trophy since winning the League Cup in 2008, and first European trophy since 1984.

United won the Europa League in 2017, the same year they also won the Carabao Cup, but did not hold a trophy parade.

Newcastle earlier this season held a trophy parade for winning the Carabao Cup, where an estimated 300,000 supporters lined the city centre streets and attended further celebrations on the Town Moor.

Liverpool are expected to hold a trophy parade following the end of the season to celebrate winning the Premier League.
