Amad Diallo recently took to social media to mock Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes, though it seems the Manchester United forward may not have realized the quotes he shared were fabricated.
Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes took another hit on Sunday, as Declan Rice’s second-half goal equalized a brilliant free-kick by Bruno Fernandes, resulting in dropped points for the Gunners.
With just 10 matches left in their 2024/25 season, Arsenal now trails league leaders Liverpool by 15 points. Liverpool solidified their dominant position with a 3-1 victory over bottom-placed Southampton. ..Continue Reading
It was a forgettable day for the North London side, and Mikel Arteta’s frustration boiled over during his post-match interview. The manager cut his conversation with reporter Patrick Davison short, refusing to address questions about the title race.
He later gave the following response when asked about their chances. “I don’t want to say that but today the frustration is that we have not won our game, we are obligated to win every match but it’s not the right moment to talk about that.”
After the full-time whistle, United forward Amad Diallo took to social media to respond to a fake quote that was doing the rounds on X, ahead of kick-off.
Amad replied to at a meme shared by Troll Football that shows Gabriel Magalhaes being asked: “Are you particularly scared of any United attackers you might face on Sunday?”
The fake quotes go on to suggest that Gabriel replied: “I’m pretty sure I have scored more than all of them.”
As previously stated, the Brazilian defender has never made such a remark, though it appears credible given that the centre-back has outscored Rasmus Hojlund in the Premier League this season.
In response, Amad shared a GIF of Joshua Zirkzee from January 12, showing him waving to Arsenal fans after netting the decisive penalty in their FA Cup fourth-round match.
Captured in the screenshot below, Amad accompanied the post with the caption: “Ahahah.”
Just last month, Amad, expressing his “extreme disappointment,” shared an emotional social media update after suffering ankle ligament damage during training.
The 22-year-old winger, a standout performer for United under Ruben Amorim, is now expected to miss the remainder of the season.
“Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season,” he said. “Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury. I will come back stronger than ever!! Time to support the boys from the outside. Still loads to play for.”
