AMAD DIALLO and Alejandro Garnacho raised eyebrows after they were seen showing the middle finger towards Manchester United fans.
The gestures came during the Malaysia leg of the club’s so-far disastrous post-season tour of Asia.

After producing the club’s worst-ever Premier League campaign and losing the Europa League final, Ruben Amorim‘s side suffered the ignominy of losing a friendly 1-0 to ASEAN All-Stars, a team made up of players from Southeast Asian leagues such as Malaysia and Thailand.
Before the game, Man Utd flops were seen touring the streets of Kuala Lumpur on an open-top bus parade.
And despite their latest flop on the pitch, fans were still desperate to catch a glimpse of the Red Devils before they jet off to Hong Kong for the next leg of their tour.
One fan shared a video of some of the players walking through a crowd.
In the clip, 22-year-old Amad can be seen heading past supporters should his name.
He then extends his right arm with his middle finger raised in a gesture seemingly directed in the direction of fans.
Meanwhile, in a separate snap, a group of Man Utd players, including Amad and Garnacho, are posing for a selfie with a pair of fans.
The two wingers can be seen with sombre expressions on their faces while also lifting their middle fingers up towards one another while standing in the group.

It is not clear what the meaning behind the pose is, though the consistent use of it suggests it might be an inside joke in the Man Utd camp.
SunSport have gone to Man Utd for comment.
Reacting to the gestures on social media, one fan said: “Everyone knows what the middle finger means and those fans still looked pretty happy. Maybe they got asked to do it?”
A second said: “Honestly could just be them trynna pose for a photo like guys do, one of those guy poses to give the middle finger, but it would be very weird as a professional to do that right after a loss, it looks bad.”
A third added: “Is this a trend or something?”
Another said: “Glad to see United’s utterly unnecessary micro tour is going well.”
A separate fan interaction had seen Amad, Garnacho and Ayden Heaven asking locals to help them pay for some Beam e-scooters to take in the city.
While Garnacho, 20 – who has been told to find a new club by Amorim – cast a glum look at a shirt signing event.

After losing to ASEAN All-Stars in front of 70,000 people, Amorim once again slammed his team, saying: “Yes, a disappointing result, but no injuries and a tough pitch.
“We don’t have it in us not to choke in every exercise, in every game, that is what happened.
“We should win these kind of games, no matter what. We need to bring that inside of us in every game.
“The important thing is no injuries with this weather and to arrive here in this day. It is not an excuse, we should perform better.”
Amorim went on to praise the club’s youngsters, saying: “I liked the young kids, they try. That’s enough for me in the moment.
“They want to play more but we have to rotate everybody to play. They did well.”
Man Utd will now face the Hong Kong national team tomorrow at 1pm UK time.
