Revealed: Why Man Utd star Amad Diallo was seen brandishing his middle finger at fans in Malaysia during post-season tour

The Red Devils, on the back of a forgettable Premier League campaign that delivered a 15th-place finish, endured more misery when suffering a shock 1-0 defeat to the ASEAN All-Star team after arriving in the Far East.

Frustrated players and coaches were not in the mood to deal with supporters - some of whom had jeered them from the stands - when making their way back to the team bus. Amad cut a seriously frustrated figure.

He was caught on camera aiming a middle-fingered salute towards a person in the crowd, with the Daily Mail claiming that the Ivorian winger was responding to “serious personal abuse”.

The Mail say that while “the exact nature of the exchange has not come to light”, Red Devils star Amad “was left very upset”. He did not have a smile on his face when fans captured a photo of United players in an elevator, with Alejandro Garnacho delivering the same gesture as Amad - although his actions were slightly more jovial.

Ruben Amorim’s squad, who are bracing for another important window of transfer activity, will remain in Asia for a friendly clash in Hong Kong on Friday before jetting back to the UK and away on their summer breaks.
