Manchester United's Amad Traore has paid his last respects after confirming the passing of his mother.

Manchester United's young talent Amad Traore is grieving the loss of his mother. The 22-year-old Ivorian winger shared the devastating news with his fans through his social media account.

Taking to Snapchat, Amad posted a poignant message: "Rest in peace Mum, may Allah forgive you." This simple yet powerful statement reflects the depth of his loss and his faith during this difficult time.

The tragedy comes at a pivotal moment in Diallo's career. After joining Manchester United from Italian side Atalanta three years ago, the young forward has been working hard to establish himself at Old Trafford.

Following loan spells at Sunderland and Rangers, Diallo was poised for a breakthrough season under manager Erik Ten Hag, with increased involvement in the first team.

However, this personal loss now casts a shadow over what was shaping up to be an exciting period in his professional life.

The club is expected to provide whatever support is necessary to help the young player cope with his loss.

Meanwhile, Amad has now provided more clarification after coming out to state that the late woman was not his biological mother.

"I wanted to clarify, she is not my biological mother," he stated in a post. "She is my brother's mother and my sister, was also my mother. May she rest in peace."
