Manchester United winger Amad Diallo sparked social media controversy on Monday by openly mocking Arsenal’s tactical reliance on set-pieces following United’s 3-2 victory at the Emirates.
Responding to a pre-match post from a Gunners fan, the Ivory Coast international took aim at Mikel Arteta’s side—who have scored a Europe-high 26 goals from dead-ball situations this season—stating, “Your only hope is corner.”
Amad, who has thrived in his preferred wide role under interim manager Michael Carrick, further told the supporter to “Be humble KID” as United climbed into the top four.
The interaction highlights growing scrutiny over Arsenal’s offensive spark, with the report noting that key attackers like Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyökeres have struggled for open-play goals while their lead at the top of the Premier League has been whittled down to just four points.
