Amad Diallo's 'Disgrace' Post Follows Martinez's Criticism of Manchester United Hierarchy

Amad Diallo posted a message on Snapchat calling the situation a "f***ing disgrace" in the aftermath of Manchester United's Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid. The post follows similar strong criticism from teammate Lisandro Martinez, who publicly questioned the club's transfer policy and investment from its hierarchy.

Diallo, who came on as a substitute in the 2-0 loss, shared his message alongside a picture of himself on the pitch. It remains unclear whether his comment was directed at the team's performance, Martinez's statements, or other club grievances.

Martinez, in his post-match interviews, unprompted, attacked the Old Trafford hierarchy and director of football Jason Wilcox. "I expect more (investment) 100 per cent. I expect more from our technical director," Martinez stated. "We did a fantastic season last season and now we expect more from the top; more players to compete because many teams bring many players as well."

Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney expressed concern that Martinez's comments could further destabilize the team's dressing room. "I think it's a bit disrespectful to his team-mates as well because he's disrespecting his team-mates, he's saying they're not good enough," Rooney said on Amazon Prime. "Now all that's going to bring is more noise around it, the players are unhappy, they're unsettled, they don't trust in their own team-mates, that's not going to help at all."

Rooney suggested that Martinez's comments seemed premeditated and aimed at self-preservation. "It looked a bit premeditated and something he spoke about with his team to get out there," he added. "When you need everyone to stick together as players, you can't be told what's going on above you, so you need the players, the manager, and the coaching staff to stick together when you're having a difficult time; otherwise, something like that will rip a dressing room apart."

Jamie Carragher, commenting on CBS' coverage of the Champions League, echoed Rooney's sentiments, labeling Martinez's remarks as "awful." He pointed out that the team's third-place finish last season was partly due to the struggles of other top clubs and that the club's financial situation limits their transfer spending. "So this summer, the money Manchester United are paying out, it's for players they bought years ago, the next instalment of it. That's why there isn't that money there, you can't just keep going with it," Carragher explained.

Carragher also criticized Martinez's own form earlier in the season, stating, "People will lap it up, Manchester United fans will, that doesn't nobody any good at all... This will just be the talk of the town now. This will blow up, explode and I think he's out of order."

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, when asked about Martinez's comments, was hesitant to comment directly, suggesting it might be an emotional reaction. "I think it's a little bit the emotion of the game," he said. "I need to find out a bit more about it before I can say if and what is going to be done. As a group, I don't doubt the togetherness. But the boys are hurting. They're passionate, they want to do well, they're definitely hurting."
