Man Utd offer emotional support to Amad Diallo after winger receives online abuse over post with former team-mate Alejandro Garnacho

Amad was bombarded with online abuse after posting a photograph alongside former United winger Garnacho, who departed the club in the summer. Amad held Garnacho's blue shirt, while the Argentine held Amad's red kit, sparking controversy among the Old Trafford fanbase. 

In response to the abuse, Amad deleted every post on his Instagram account, and United made sure to check on his mental state on Monday. A source told The Sun that Amad is "okay" but also claim that the upload of the photo was "naive". 

Amad and Garnacho share an agency and are said to have grown close through their time at Old Trafford. The latter, however, left for Chelsea in a £40 million ($54m) deal in the summer. 

Amad has made five Premier League appearances this season, laying on one assist, but Garnacho has, thus far, only played once in the top-flight for Chelsea after being a part of Ruben Amorim's 'bomb squad' at Old Trafford.
