will not celebrate with an open-top bus parade if they defeat Tottenham Hotspur in the final, according to reports. The Red Devils have made more low-key arrangements to commemorate the potential success due to time constraints, despite the significance of the clash in Bilbao.

United and Spurs meet at San Mames Stadium on May 21, knowing victory would salvage their equally disastrous seasons. There is not just silverware on offer, but also Champions League qualification for the two clubs sitting 16th and 17th in the Premier League, respectively. But United have no plans to host a trophy parade if they reign supreme and lift a third major trophy in as many years.

According to , the Old Trafford giants would instead enjoy a celebratory barbecue at their Carrington training ground.

Players, staff and their families will be able to savour the success behind closed doors at the complex, which is still undergoing a £50million transformation.

United's schedule has proven too tight to fit in a trophy parade, given Aston Villa visit on the Premier League's final day later in the week before the club head on a post-season tour.

Immediately after the Villa clash, Ruben Amorim and his first-team squad will jet off to Asia to face the ASEAN All Stars in Kuala Lumpur on May 28 before meeting Hong Kong on May 30.

Players will report for international duty straight after those commitments, leaving little time to free up an entire day for a trophy parade.

United have won five major trophies since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013 - two FA Cups, two Carabao Cups and a Europa League.

But they haven't marked any of them with a parade, last doing so when an estimated 100,000 fans lined the streets of Manchester to celebrate the club's 20th Premier League title 12 years ago.

The longer United go without a Premier League or Champions League crown, the more significant their cup wins feel.

Spurs haven't won any silverware since 2008, so it comes as no surprise that the club will mark a Europa League triumph with a parade.

The report adds that the Lilywhites plan to partake in an open-top bus celebration between the final and their final game of the season against Brighton and Hove Albion.

They would join Newcastle United, who celebrated the Carabao Cup in March, and Liverpool, set for their latest parade in a couple of weeks, in doing so this term.

United's lack of public celebrations won't take away from the final's importance as Amorim bids to conclude his difficult first season with a flourish.
