Returning to Manchester, England from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Rowley announced that in order to celebrate Manchester United's history, he invited all the players of the club's first team and reserve team, as well as all the coaching staff members, to hold the first open-air barbecue party of the year. The time was set for the afternoon of the next day at the Carrington training base.

The reason why only the barbecue party was held and the location was set at the Carrington training base was that Rowley consulted with the head coach Mourinho and the sports director Solskjaer.
