Amad Diallo says he ‘doesn’t regret’ showing the middle finger to a Manchester United fan on their tour in Asia.

An image of the 22-year-old appearing to swear at supporters has circulated online during their post-season visit to Malaysia.

Amad appeared to make a rude gesture to United fans

It appeared the day after United were beaten 1-0 in a friendly match against an ASEAN All-Stars side.

talkSPORT understands that Amad was responding to an abusive comment from a fan in what was a small, isolated incident.

And he has taken to social media with a statement explaining how a comment about his mum prompted his response.

“I have respect for people but not for the one who insults my mom…,” he said on X.

“I shouldn’t have reacted like that but I don’t regret what I did. We had a great time in Malaysia with good people.”
