Amad Diallo was the target of serious personal abuse from a Manchester United fan in Malaysia, Mail Sport can reveal.

A photo of Amad went viral after the 1-0 defeat against the ASEAN All-Star team in Kuala Lumpar where the Ivorian is photographed putting his middle finger up.

There had been some suggestions online that it was linked to his name and desire for people not use ‘Diallo’ as a point of reference.

But it’s understood that the real reason behind Amad’s emotional reaction was down to serious personal abuse sent in his direction.

While the exact nature of the exchange has not come to light, Amad was left very upset by the incident as he boarded the team bus.
