Amad Diallo brutally trolls Man Utd team-mates after Lyon heroics with X-rated Garnacho pop and dig at Onana ‘injury’
AMAD DIALLO brutally trolled his Manchester United team-mates after their Lyon heroics at Old Trafford.
Man Utd clawed victory from the jaws of defeat against Lyon with three late goals in extra time, including an injury-time stunner from Kobbie Mainoo and a headed winner from Harry Maguire.
Injured Red Devils winger Amad was at the stadium watching the game as the stunning match played out.
Man Utd stars rushed to celebrate with Maguire following his last-gasp winner to send the Red Devils into the Europa League semi-finals.
But goalkeeper Andre Onana headed over to the subs’ bench to hug manager Ruben Amorim and back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.
However, with a few moments of football still to play after the winner went in, Onana fell to the floor with his leg lifted in the air and arms sprawled out either side of him.
The 29-year-old, who was reinstated in the starting XI after being dropped for the 4-1 defeat to Newcastle, appeared to be suffering with cramp when Maguire came over to help him stretch.
Of course, it could just have easily been a time-wasting tactic, copying the actions of Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri when the French outfit were winning the game.
Regardless, Amad managed to find a screenshot of the moment and shared it on his Snapchat account.
The 22-year-old accompanied the photo with a quartet of emojis; two crying faces and two crying with laughter faces.

Amad then also took to X and blasted his team-mates for putting him and all United fans through the emotional wringer.
He shared a dressing room selfie alongside Manuel Ugarte and Alejandro Garnacho and accompanied it with an explicit and typo-riddled caption, doubtless a symptom of the excitement from the game.
It said: “UNITER WILL NEVER DIED, congrat manu for your’re s*** goal, f*** Garna for that miss, you gaves us pain heart.”
Ugarte had scored the opening goal on the night following a stunning move which saw Bruno Fernandes spin in behind before passing the ball inside to Garnacho.
The Argentine then took an exquisite touch to dribble round two defenders before squaring it back to the unmarked Ugarte for a tap-in.
But after the interval of regulation time, Garnacho had the chance to kill the tie completely as he raced through on goal.
He managed to successfully cut the ball back behind the scrambling defender, leaving him one-on-one with Perri with the entire goal to aim at.
But he was somehow unable to finish the golden chance as he struck the ball directly at the goalkeeper instead of tucking it into the corner.
A goal there to make it 3-0 on the night would have all but killed the tie as a contest, meaning the Lyon comeback would have been far more unlikely to ever come about.
The explicit post has now been viewed 4.4 million times and liked 141,000 times, though the off-the-cuff nature of it left some fans wondering whether it was his real account.
Amad has teased his comeback from injury on social media, with Amorim saying before the Lyon thriller that he hopes to have him available again next month.
Like Amad taking aim at his team-mates, fellow crocked ace Joshua Zirkzee aimed a dig towards Man Utd fans who left Old Trafford early.
Taking to Instagram, he shared a video of the deafening noise inside Old Trafford as the remaining United faithful cheered on the team.

And in a swipe at the fans who left early, he captioned the video: “To all the fans who left when we were down. Have a listen to this.”
Amorim told TNT Sports after the game he had watched some of the 99 documentary for inspiration before labelling the unbelievable match a “great night”.
He said: “I was watching again the 1999 documentary to have some inspiration for these moments.
“It was a great night – 4-2 with one more player you think it’s over, but here it is never over. I felt here everything is possible.”
However, the 40-year-old also had a harsh reality check for his squad after admitting they need to focus on Europa League.
He said: “The reflection of the coach is the league. You can be good in European games but your reflection as a team is in the league and we are underperforming, but then we have to see the context.
“We lack a lot of characteristics in our team – sometimes you want to push forward and you see that Garnacho is really tired but he’s the only one who can make transitions.
“Physically is it a problem. When we play against European teams you can see we cope better with that – in the Premier League we suffer a lot.”
He continued: “It is one type of moment that can change a lot of things. These kind of moments can change a lot in the players’ mind.
“We have to be really focused on the Europa League and we have to take a risk with the kids in the Premier League.
“We have to be tough on that and the fans have to understand our focus is on the Europa League.”
Man Utd will face Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals of the competition, with those matches on May 1 and May 8, with the latter once again being at home.
Man Utd ratings vs Lyon
MANCHESTER UNITED scored three goals in seven unbelievable minutes to beat Lyon in one of the all-time great nights at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils looked to be putting in one of their best displays since Ruben Amorim took over as they raced into a 2-0 lead.
But after conceding one goal, they let the ground slip from under them, quickly giving away another to allow Lyon to take the game to extra time.
Not even a red card for Corentin Tolisso could get United out of their slump as the French side completely dominated most of the additional 30 minutes.
Rayan Cherki and an Alexandre Lacazette penalty meant the visitors looked home and hosed before Casemiro was fouled and Bruno Fernandes hit home from the spot.
Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire then both netted in stoppage time of extra time to secure a scarcely believable win.
