Manchester United's Amad has come clean about flashing his middle finger to a fan in Malaysia, saying he's got zero time for anyone talking about his mum.

Fresh from the Premier League season wrap-up, Amad and the United crew jetted off to Asia for their end-of-season tour.

The Red Devils kicked things off with a bit of a stumble, losing to an ASEAN All-Star XI in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.

Amad wrapped up the league with a tidy eight goals, including a net-buster in the final game against Aston Villa.

The 22-year-old started as a sub in the ASEAN All-Star match but got his chance in the second half, although United still took a 1-0 hit.

Next up, Ruben Amorim's squad is off to Hong Kong to face the local team before the lads get their well-deserved summer hols.

"I have respect for people but not for the one who insults my mom," Amad said in a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), reports the Express.

"I shouldn't have reacted like that but I don't regret what I did. We had a great time in Malaysia with good people."

“The boos from the fans, maybe it is something we need because every game that we lost in the Premier League they were always there. Let's see for next season.”
