Manchester United have scrapped the club's annual Player of the Year ceremony in the wake of their worst-ever Premier League season.
United have held the glitzy end-of-season event for more than a decade, to honour and pay tribute to the club's outstanding players at first-team and youth level. The gala dinner, which is always held at Old Trafford, is usually scheduled for the final fortnight of the season, but has not gone ahead this year.
It is understood United's players were too embarrassed to hold the black-tie event, broadcast by the MUTV, the club's in-house TV station, following such a dismal campaign. Players are said to have felt awkward about staging the do, which is why club bosses decided not to go ahead with it, despite a two-year hiatus due to Covid.
