Amad Diallo has deleted all of his Instagram posts after sparking backlash from Manchester United fans with a picture alongside former team-mate Alejandro Garnacho. The winger started in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Chelsea but came under fire after sharing a smiling snap with the Argentine, who was booed throughout at Old Trafford following his controversial exit this summer.

Amad began the game in United’s front three before finishing at right wing-back as Ruben Amorim’s side defended their lead. After the match, he was pictured swapping shirts and posing with Garnacho, who did not feature for Chelsea but was loudly jeered by the home crowd. The post was deleted shortly after, with Amad also wiping every other photo from his Instagram account.

Garnacho’s acrimonious exit from Old Trafford to join Chelsea has left many United fans frustrated, with his reception echoing chants once aimed at Carlos Tevez. Amad’s decision to publicly celebrate his bond with the Argentine was seen as poorly timed, particularly given the tense atmosphere. The backlash quickly spread across social media, leading the 23-year-old to erase his online presence.
