United's traditional end of season awards were cancelled by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in mid-May; partly so the men's team could focus on the FA Cup final, but also reportedly as part of his cost-cutting drive at the club. Therefore, the fact the 19-year-old was partying with the Red Devils players has left a bitter taste in the mouth of many of United's employees as they were not invited to the post-Wembley triumph.
DID YOU KNOW?
This comes amid the news that United's non-football staff were reportedly given a week to decide if they want to continue working at the Red Devils as Ratcliffe looks to decrease spending. A spokesperson for the club said: "This isn't a voluntary redundancy programme. The club recognises that not everyone wants to work from the office full-time so has provided options for staff who don't wish to return to the office to step away now."

With Ratcliffe's INEOS group running footballing matters at United going forward, it remains to be seen which further changes he will implement at the Premier League giants. The next big decision is whether or not manager Erik ten Hag will keep his job.
