AMAD DIALLO has been accused of disrespecting Bristol City’s Alex Scott after missing out on the Championship Young Player of the Year award.
The Manchester United youngster has spent this season on loan at Sunderland in the second tier.
His impressive performances saw him nominated for the league’s prestigious Young Player of the Year gong alongside Scott and Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney.
Scott, 19, went on to bag the award, apparently to Diallo’s ire.
The Ivorian, who joined Man United for £37million from Atalanta in January 2021, appeared to mock the decision on Twitter.
Followed by two laughing emojis, Diallo wrote: “Youg (sic) player, who?”
One United fan wrote: “I understand he is frustrated but should not be going public and show a lack of respect.”
A number of Bristol City fans mocked Diallo’s response.
One wrote “don’t be sad” with a “there is no need to be upset meme” featuring a headshot of Scott.
While a second posted a snap of Scott doing a crying gesture.

A third even responded with a video of Nigel Pearson dancing.
Diallo, 20, has performed brilliantly for play-off-chasing Sunderland this term.
He has scored 12 goals in 35 Championship appearances for Tony Mowbray’s side.
Sunderland sit sixth in the table with two games remaining.
Scott, meanwhile, has been a revelation for Bristol City.
His performances have drawn lavish praise from Pep Guardiola – as well as transfer links to Liverpool and West Ham.
