The low-key reactions from several Manchester United players on social media after Erik ten Hag’s dismissal have shone a light on deep-seated tensions within the squad. A notable lack of farewell posts or messages acknowledging Ten Hag has given fans and players room to read between the lines, reflecting perhaps more than simple social media choices. Amad Diallo’s response, or lack thereof, has been particularly revealing. The talented young winger remained silent after Ten Hag was dismissed by INEOS following United’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham United. While players often differ in their social media presence, Amad’s lack of…
