Manchester United are currently preparing for their next Premier League match, which is against Brentford tomorrow at Gtech Community Stadium.

Man United will look to win two Premier League games in a row after beating Chelsea 2-1 last weekend at Old Trafford.

The match against Chelsea led to lots of controversy among the Man United faithful, especially with Alejandro Garnacho's return to Old Trafford, but as a Chelsea player.

Garnacho was not welcomed back kindly by the Man United fans, and things got worse online, which involved Amad Diallo.

After the match, Amad Diallo took a picture with Garnacho in the locker room and swapped shirts. Diallo posted the image of him and Garnacho on Instagram, which led to lots of criticism and hate towards the Man United forward.

Diallo eventually deleted the picture and deleted most of his images on his social media pages. Rumors suggested that Diallo deleted all of his social media pages, and Ruben Amorim confirmed it in a press conference.

Ruben Amorim on Diallo & Garnacho Controversy

Ruben Amorim was asked about Amad Diallo being criticised for the picture he took with Garancho after the match against Chelsea last weekend.

The Portuguese manager revealed that he sent a message to Diallo and other players in the squad about social media. He advised them that social media should be deleted and ignored.

Amorim did not comment on Garnacho specifically, as he wanted to only speak about the players in the current Man United squad.

Ruben Amorim said, "I say the same thing to my players – shut down social media. It's like that nowadays. It's a price you have to pay. But the club and his friends are real life for Amad. We are here for him."
