Amad Diallo shows his "middle finger", Southeast Asian netizens are in an uproar

After a 0-1 defeat to the ASEAN All-Stars in the first friendly match of their Asian tour, Man United not only faced a lot of criticism for their poor performance but also for the behavior of their players, specifically Amad Diallo.

Amad Diallo caused public outrage when he raised his middle finger towards the crowd at Bukit Jalil Stadium. The incident happened when the Man United team was leaving the field after the match and the lenses of many journalists and fans managed to capture this ugly image of one of the talented young faces of the English team.

According to talkSPORT, Diallo reacted strongly to the insults from some spectators, although there was no racist element. However, the behavior of the young Ivorian player is unacceptable, both in terms of civilized behavior between people in society and the way to demonstrate the professionalism required of football players in front of the audience, which is the "lifeblood" that helps football survive and develop.

In a friendly match that took place on the evening of May 28 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Man United surprisingly lost 0-1 to the ASEAN All-Stars team, a squad consisting of players from 12 Southeast Asian countries. The only goal of the match was scored by Myanmar star Maung Maung Lwin in the 71st minute.

Diallo confirmed that the fan had insulted his mother. 'I respect everyone but not those who insulted my mother. I shouldn't have reacted like that but I don't regret what I did. We had a great time in Malaysia with nice people but not all of them are like that,' Diallo shared on X.

From the strong reaction of fans and the media, it can be understood that, no matter how insulted, professional players need to stay calm and not react negatively. Some fans also question the professionalism and attitude of the young players in the current Man United squad.

Amad Diallo gave the "middle finger" to the audience after the match, but the media also discovered that his teammate Alejandro Garnacho also showed a similar gesture in a photo taken with fans. This photo also quickly spread on social media, although it was considered a joke between close friends and familiar fans.

Man United have just had a season to forget, finishing 15th in the Premier League, the worst result in the club's history. Just a few days after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham, the "Red Devils" were humiliated by the ASEAN All-Stars. This has made the team's situation even worse, and it is unclear where Man United will go next.

Amad Diallo had some impressive performances last season, both before and after his injury. He scored 10 goals despite an ankle injury and was the team's joint-second top scorer last season, along with Alejandro Garnacho.

Amad Diallo's act of raising his middle finger after losing to ASEAN All-Stars is considered a black mark, tarnishing the image of this player as well as Man United in the eyes of fans.
