Premier League: Manchester United call off End of Season Awards
Man United are guaranteed to finish on their lowest Premier League points tally, even if they beat Crystal Palace on Sunday, and could end with the ignominy of a place in the Europa Conference League.
Their season reached a lower end in their last outing, when they were humbled 4-0 by Brighton and Hove Albion on May 7.
The club have held the shining awards ceremony for more than a decade but The Mirror reports plans for this year’s gala dinner, set to be held at Old Trafford, have been scrapped.
Players asked club officials for the end-of-season event to be called off amid embarrassment at their disastrous campaign, according to The Mirror.

Bruno Fernandes has won United’s player of the year award, named after legendary former manager Sir Matt Busby, for the past two seasons.
United have missed out on qualification for the Champions League and may not even make the Europa League places if they suffer defeat at Selhurst Park.
They also failed to get beyond the last 16 of the Champions League and were knocked out of the FA Cup in the fourth round by Championship side Middlesbrough.
United sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November, in the wake of a 4-1 loss to Watford, and replaced him with interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

United are set to embark on a new era under incoming boss Erik ten Hag, who is expected to attend the Palace match on Sunday.
Ten Hag has signed a three-year contract to take over from Rangnick, with the option of a fourth.
