Diallo turned the middle finger against fans in Malaysia when he said they made remarks to his mother, while Garnacho had an incident with a fan filming him, according to ESPN.
For Beckham, it has emphasized the lack of success for the club. Manchester United ended the last season 15. In the table.

“I don’t like to see what’s happening in the club,” Beckham told CBS Sports when Paris Saint-Germain defeated Inter Milan for the Champions League Trophy. “It is true that it is the track that matters, but I see a lot of things that are not acceptable to me as a fan and a lover of Manchester United. You have to represent badget. I have seen a lot of things where players do not act the right way.
“We understood what it meant to play for Manchester United. We understood what the badget meant. Everywhere we traveled, whether in Europe or Asia, we respected the fans. We respected the fact that they came and paid money to see us, to get an autograph or to take pictures. You have to respect it.”
