Man United star Amad Diallo flips middle finger at KL fan who insulted his mum, doesn't regret it

Manchester United football player Amad Diallo said he has no regrets for his middle finger gesture at a fan, which took place outside a Malaysia hotel following his team's loss in a post-season match in Kuala Lumpur.

On May 28, Manchester United slumped to a 1-0 loss in a friendly with the Asean All-Stars at Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

This match came after the Red Devils finished 15th in the 2024/2025 Premier League, their worst result since 1974.

The team was also booed off the pitch by fans.

Flipped middle finger at fan

A subsequent video circulating online showed Amad Diallo, 20, who plays as a forward, flipping a middle finger as he alighted from a squad bus with other players.

As fans were held back by security at the venue, Diallo looked in the direction of the camera and made the gesture as he walked off.

The gesture appeared to have been directed at a fan.

The clip on TikTok has garnered over 658,000 views as of May 30.

In another clip on X, fans in Manchester United jerseys could be heard shouting Diallo's name before he flashed the gesture.

Based on a logo on the floor, this appeared to have taken place at W Kuala Lumpur, a five-star hotel.

Person insulted my mother: Diallo

After footage of the gesture went viral online, Diallo claimed in a post on X that the person had insulted his mother.

"I have respect for people but not for the one who insults my mom... I shouldn't have reacted like that but I don't regret what I did," Diallo wrote on May 29.

He went on to add that the team had a great time in Malaysia with good people.

Not the only one

Diallo was not the only Manchester United player to face controversy for offensive gestures towards fans in Malaysia.

Fellow forward Alejandro Garnacho was also seen flipping a middle finger at a fan while walking off the pitch following United's match.

The user said in the caption that they had been looking forward to the match, as it was the first time in years that Manchester United had played in Malaysia.

The club's last match there was in 2009.

"You saved up for this moment and you brought your kids to enjoy it with you. And you got the middle finger from one of the players..." the video's caption wrote.

Garnacho, 20, who came off the bench for the match against Asean All-Stars, is reportedly on his way out of the club after an uneasy relationship with head coach Ruben Amorim.

Amorim has told Garnacho he will be allowed to leave the club in the summer, BBC reported.

Manchester United will play Hong Kong on May 30 to round up their Asian tour.
