Manchester United still celebrates despite losing: the season finale party is held as usual

Despite losing to Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 in the Europa League final, Premier League giants Manchester United still decided to hold a barbecue party after the season at the Carrington training base as originally planned.

Originally, the party was set to replace the traditional convertible bus parade celebrations—the latter is often used to celebrate major championship victories. Even if Manchester United finally won the championship, such street celebrations have long been cancelled.

After losing the Europa League final, many speculated that club executives might cancel the barbecue party to express their disappointment and reflections on this failed season. However, unexpectedly, Manchester United adhered to the original arrangements and will hold this traditional event as scheduled next week, with players, coaching staff and family members attending.

Despite the sluggish morale across the team, the move is seen as an important measure to maintain internal solidarity and stabilize the locker room atmosphere, especially before the upcoming turbulent transfer period.

Season ranking is still uncertain, and the suspense of the last round is still there

From a competitive perspective, if we achieve ideal results in the last round against Aston Villa, Manchester United still has the hope of ending the Premier League this season with 14th place. But if the game loses and other competitors win, the Red Devils may even slip into the league 18th place, setting a record for the club's worst league rankings in recent years.

Preparing for Asia Tour Business considerations are more important than competition

After the match against Villa, Manchester United will set off for Asia to participate in two friendly matches held in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong, China in late next month. This expedition is more for commercial promotion and brand building purposes than for tactical preparations for the new season.

Speaking of the Europa League final loss, coach Ruben Amorin said after the game: "It's obvious that we're very sad. We performed better on the court, but if you can't score, you can't win the game."

Despite the loss, Manchester United seemed to have chosen to end this chaotic season with a warm farewell party and also accumulate strength for the upcoming reconstruction path.
