Amad Diallo Updates Fans on Instagram Profile Changes
Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has confirmed that he has deactivated his social media accounts in order to ‘focus on Ramadan.’ The 21-year-old, who joined United in a £37 million deal from Atalanta in 2021, has barely featured for United this season, making just three substitute appearances since returning from a knee injury in December. Diallo was forced to miss the start of the campaign due to a knee injury and has played just 63 minutes in all competitions since returning at the end of December.
On Monday, United fans spotted that Diallo had deleted all references to United on his Instagram page and left just three images of his time on loan at Sunderland, which sparked speculation over his long-term future at Old Trafford. But Diallo, who has now deleted his Instagram page entirely, has now responded to United supporters via his Snapchat account. ‘I deactivated my social media for a month just to focus on Ramadan,’ Diallo posted on Monday evening.
The Ivorian winger thrived during his loan spell at Sunderland in the Championship last season and was tipped to challenge for a regular role in Erik ten Hag’s squad this term. ‘It’s a holy month for me and social media is a place where there are bad things to see during fasting. ‘Stop the hatred, there’s nothing wrong with what I did.’
Diallo’s decision to deactivate his social media accounts has sparked discussion among fans about his commitment to the club and his future at Manchester United. With limited playing time and a lack of impact on the pitch, some supporters are questioning whether Diallo will be able to fulfill his potential at Old Trafford.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Diallo’s situation, the winger remains focused on his religious observance during Ramadan and has asked for understanding from fans. As he takes this time to concentrate on his faith and personal growth, Diallo hopes to return stronger and more determined to make an impact for Manchester United.
