Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has finally spoken out following intense media speculation surrounding his alleged comments about manager Michael Carrick.
In an emotional response, the Ivorian international strongly denied claims that he criticized his manager, insisting that his words were taken out of context and “used against” him.
“I Gave My All to This Team”
Speaking to reporters earlier today, Amad addressed the controversy directly:
“I have given my all to this team. Why would I say such a thing about my manager? The media is just trying to bring me down by all means.”
The 23-year-old made it clear that he holds respect for Carrick and the coaching staff, stressing that he remains fully committed to Manchester United and its ambitions this season.
According to Amad, his original comments were about personal frustration with his own performance and desire to improve — not criticism of the manager’s tactics or decisions.
What He Actually Said
Amad explained that after being substituted in a recent match, he told the press:
“I always want to play more and help the team. When I come off, of course I feel disappointed because I believe I can make a difference.”
However, headlines quickly framed his remarks as dissatisfaction with Carrick’s decisions. The winger insists he never intended to question the manager’s authority.
“I respect the coach 100 percent,” Amad added. “He has helped me improve and trusted me in big games. I would never attack him.”
Club Reaction
Sources inside Manchester United suggest that the club is satisfied with Amad’s clarification. There is reportedly no disciplinary action being considered at this stage, with the matter viewed as a misunderstanding amplified by media interpretation.
Michael Carrick is understood to have accepted the player’s explanation. Insiders describe the relationship between manager and player as professional and stable.
The club hierarchy is believed to be keen to avoid unnecessary distractions as United push for a strong finish to the season.
Dressing Room Support
Reports indicate that several senior players have backed Amad privately, urging him to stay focused and ignore outside noise. Teammates reportedly believe the situation has been exaggerated and are confident it will not affect squad unity.
Amad has been one of United’s more energetic attacking threats this campaign, contributing with goals, assists, and direct running that has troubled defenders.
Fans React
Supporters have reacted in mixed fashion. While some initially feared tension between player and manager, many are now rallying behind Amad after his public clarification.
On social media, fans have praised his passion and competitive mentality, arguing that wanting to stay on the pitch shows hunger rather than disrespect.
