Manchester United have decided not to hold an end of year awards night - but players will still be given prizes.

It is the second season in a row that the club has cancelled its awards night and part of the decision was due to disappointing performances on the men's side.

The Premier League side are heading for their worst league finish since the 1973-74 relegation campaign, although they could still qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League.

However, the women's team have booked their European place for next season and are in a third successive Women's FA Cup final.

Club sources say the Women's Super League players will still be rewarded internally, alongside men's award winners, but not at a lavish party.

There was a feeling that holding such an event, while staff were being made redundant, was inappropriate.

A second round of redundancies, potentially impacting another 200 staff members as part of a broader cost-cutting plan, was announced in February.

That followed a previous round of 250 redundancies in 2024.
