WHAT HAPPENED?
The club cancelled the ceremony last season when they finished eighth and won the FA Cup, and this time around have not even made plans to hold their traditional gala dinner in a suite at Old Trafford.

The club will hand out the Sir Matt Busy player of the year award on the pitch ahead of their home match against Aston Villa on the final day of the season, with Bruno Fernandes the heavy favourite to scoop the prize.
DID YOU KNOW?
Fernandes won the men's award last season, while Ella Toone was awarded the women's prize. Her side take on Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Sunday and have already qualified for next season's Champion League via their third-place league finish.

Amorim's side look set for a period of heavy change, after the manager admitted recently the club must be "strong" and "brave" this summer.
