Amad Diallo likes a tweet telling him Manchester United ‘isn’t worth his time’ after failing to get off the bench in FA Cup win over Newport… before deleting his online interaction on the fan post

Manchester United‘s Amad Diallo has deleted a like he left on a Sunderland fan post on X – formerly Twitter – telling him to return to his former club because of his lack of opportunities at Old Trafford.

The Ivorian recently returned to full fitness from a long-term injury and is keen to get his senior United career fully up and running following a stop-start few years since his arrival.

Big things were expected of Diallo’s potential when he landed in Manchester following a £37million transfer from Serie A three-years ago during Ole Solskjaer’s managerial reign.

A season-long loan spell at Sunderland in the Championship last season saw Amad, 21, star for the Black Cats with 14 goals and 42 appearances in all competitions as he helped the club reach the play-offs.

However, he has been limited to just one appearance for United this season and was left out of the matchday squad for Sunday’s FA Cup fourth round victory over League Two side, Newport.

The post by an anonymous online X account read: ‘Here, Amad Diallo – if they’re not going to start you in the FA Cup away at Newport County it really really isn’t worth you giving them your time. 

‘Come home, come somewhere you are truly appreciated . . .’.

The like from Amad’s official Twitter account appears to have since unliked his interaction with the post.

However, a video post of his Sunderland highlights is pinned to the top of his Twitter profile from May last year.

Fellow United youngster Alejandro Garnacho and Brazilian winger Antony started ahead of Amad, who’s only time on the ball in the weekend clash came during the warm-ups.

Marcus Rashford also failed to make an appearance as he was left out of United’s matchday squad for the cup clash through illness but amid reports he was spotted at a nightclub in Belfast on Thursday evening.

United successfully navigated their way through the tricky tie against Newport as late strikes from Antony and striker Rasmus Hojlund extended their side’s stay in the competition. 

 They will visit either Nottingham Forest or Bristol City in the fifth round as they attempt to make a second consecutive FA Cup final.
