Amad Diallo Mocks Arsenal With Cheeky Dig At Fan After Man Utd’s Thrilling 3-2 Win At Emirates

Manchester United‘s resurgence under caretaker boss Michael Carrick continued in style as they stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal with a dramatic 3-2 victory at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The win marked back-to-back triumphs for the Red Devils following their derby success over Manchester City, and it sparked some fiery banter on social media from Ivory Coast international Amad Diallo.

The 23-year-old winger, who put in a solid shift playing 88 minutes on the right flank, couldn’t resist taking a swipe at the Gunners after the final whistle. Diallo engaged in a cheeky exchange with an Arsenal fan on X (formerly Twitter), who had confidently predicted a 4-0 win for the home side before the match.

Quoting the fan’s pre-game boast — “Arsenal are winning 4-0 they just sent me the script” — Diallo posted the full-time score graphic with the caption: “Enjoy KID,” accompanied by a wink emoji.

When the supporter hit back with “Buck me in ends g, don’t tweet me every again,” Diallo fired off a brutal response: “Your only hope is corner 🤣 Be humble KID 🤫” — a clear jab at Arsenal’s heavy reliance on set pieces this season.

The banter escalated further, with the fan replying in heartbreak: “I been there for you since day 1 g and this is how you do me,” referencing an earlier October post praising Diallo as potentially the best African winger ahead of Mohamed Salah.

Amad’s taunt highlights a growing narrative around Arsenal’s attack. Despite sitting atop the table and boasting 42 league goals (second only to Manchester City), the Gunners have struggled for open-play contributions from key forwards. Bukayo Saka is goalless in his last 13 games across all competitions, Gabriel Martinelli hasn’t netted in his last 13 Premier League outings, and others like Leandro Trossard (one goal in 11) have also been quiet.

Arsenal’s set-piece prowess remains unmatched, with reports indicating they lead Europe’s top five leagues in goals from dead-ball situations (around 24-26 excluding penalties in some tallies). This dependency has drawn criticism, including from former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira, who questioned the team’s “mental strength” post-match on Sky Sports.

Vieira pointed to a lack of energy, risk-taking, and leadership, singling out Saka for being “too quiet” in big games and noting that players like Trossard and others failed to step up in a must-win fixture. “They need a leader to lift the spirit of the team,” Vieira said. “They have the quality, but they didn’t play with the freedom to express themselves.”

For Manchester United, the result underlines Carrick’s positive impact since taking interim charge. Diallo has thrived in the setup, starting both big wins and benefiting from tactical tweaks — including Bryan Mbeumo’s shift to a central No.9 role, allowing the Ivorian to reclaim his preferred right-wing spot after time at wing-back under previous management.

As the Premier League title race heats up, this Emirates upset has blown things wide open, with United gaining momentum and Arsenal facing questions over their attacking edge beyond corners. Diallo’s social media roast only added salt to the wounds for Gunners fans — a classic case of post-match banter in the beautiful game.
