The management of Manchester United decided not to hold a traditional party associated with the Christmas holidays. It is reported The Athletic.

According to a source, the Christmas party has been cancelled, which CEO Omar Berrada confirmed during a joint meeting with staff.

This news shocked the club’s employees so much that the captain of the “red devils” Bruno Fernandes asked the management to pay all the expenses related to this event. However, his proposal was rejected.

It is noted that Manchester United saved about 250 thousand pounds. The club claims that the decision was not made because of the financial aspect, but because “it is inappropriate to celebrate when many people have lost their jobs.”
