Man United star Amad Diallo confirms tragic news of his mother's death

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo delivered some tragic news on Friday evening when he confirmed the death of his mother.

The 22-year-old Premier League star shared a photo of his late mum on Snapchat along with the message: 'Rest in peace Mum, may Allah forgive you.'

It is currently unclear whether Amad will be withdrawn from United's squad for Saturday's Premier League game away at Brighton & Hove Albion.

The former Rangers and Sunderland loanee played 61 minutes in last week's 1-0 win over Fulham at Old Trafford. 

Following Amad's heart-breaking news, he was inundated with messages of support from fans via social media. 

One fan wrote: 'We are all with you Amad Diallo. Stay strong king.'

Another message read: 'Condolences to Amad Diallo and his entire family on the death of his mother. Stay strong bro and RIP to the beautiful mother.'

Amad spoke about his mother during an interview with manutd.com in June 2021 when he was reflecting on making his United debut four months earlier.

Discussing his first United appearance, which came in the Europa League against Real Sociedad, Amad said: 'I called my mum after the game and she was in tears, saying that she couldn't believe it.

'For me, it was an incredible feeling because getting to play at the highest level only happens once in a lifetime.

'Mum was really proud of me. She was always confident that I would make it to the top, but she always told me to stay humble, to work hard and never give up.

'So, when she saw me play those eight minutes or so, it was everything to her. We couldn't believe it.'
