Brighton winger Amad Diallo shared the devastating news of his mother’s passing on Friday. The 22-year-old posted a tribute to his late mother on Snapchat, written in French, saying, “Rest in peace Mum, may Allah forgive you.” The tragic news comes just a day before United’s Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion, and it is unclear whether Amad will be part of the squad for the game.

Amad, who has previously been on loan at Rangers and Sunderland, played 61 minutes in last week’s 1-0 win against Fulham. Following the announcement of his mother’s death, fans and supporters flooded social media with messages of condolences and support for the Ivorian winger during this difficult time.
