Some players of Manchester United in the English Premier League (EPL) are known to have verbally abused their fans during the Asian tour, sparking controversy. David Beckham, a Manchester United legend who recently saw the incident, said, "I lacked respect."

British media Standard said on the 2nd (Korea time) that "Beckham gave a blow to the 'lack of respect' of Manchester United players."

The situation is like this. Manchester United immediately completed its Asian tour after the end of the 2024-25 season. They played the ASEAN All-Star team led by head coach Kim Sang-sik and the Hong Kong national team one after another. They lost 0-1 to the ASEAN All-Star team, and came from behind to win 3-1 against Hong Kong.

However, some players' unfaithful behaviors during the tour attracted more attention than the result of the match. On social media, a video clip of Manchester United's Ahmad Diallo moving to the fans while swearing with his fingers after getting off the team bus was posted. Alejandro Garnacho was also seen pushing fans who were filming him or swearing with their fingers. In addition, Garnacho and Diallo made a gesture as if they were raising their fingers while taking photos with fans on social media, sparking controversy.

According to the media, Beckham strongly criticized the incident on CBS Sports, saying, "I don't want to see what's happening at Manchester United right now." "It is true that the stadium is important, but there are many things that cannot be accepted as a fan of Manchester United. A player should represent the emblem of a club. But we saw a lot of scenes where players didn't behave properly," he said. "We understood what it means to play for Manchester United. Whether it was in Europe or Asia, we respected the fans. We respected the fact that they came to see us, to get autographs and take pictures. This is something we have to respect."

Diallo, one of the parties involved in the controversy, said on his social media, "Again, I didn't mean to hurt people. I just reacted to someone who was not healthy. We apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable. Malaysia has been an amazing journey for us." Diallo reportedly responded to the high-level abuse from his fans. 메이저사이트
