Man United star Amad Diallo appeared to be caught up in the excitement of their stunning comeback win against Lyon in the Europa League, with the injured winger taking a light hearted dig at two team-mates.
The Red Devils progressed to the semi-finals of the competition on Thursday night in remarkable fashion at Old Trafford.
Goals from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot gave the hosts a 2-0 aggregate lead following a draw in the first leg.
Lyon then staged a superb fightback in the second half to force extra time, drawing level through goals from Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico.
The French side completed the turnaround despite being reduced to 10-men, with Rayan Cherki and an Alexander Lacazette penalty putting the visitors on course for the last four.
An astonishing climax to the tie saw Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire score as Man United roared back to win 5-4 on the night and 7-6 on aggregate.

Amad’s post referenced Garnacho’s missed chance which could have put Man United 3-0 up
Amad, who missed the match through injury, showed players had been swept up in the drama as much as supporters as he shared a photo from inside Man United’s dressing room post match.
The 22-year-old posed alongside Ugarte and Alejandro Garnacho with the winger taking a cheeky dig at the duo.
‘UNITER WILL NEVER DIED, congrat manu for your’re s*** goal , f*** Garna for that miss, you gaves us pain heart,’ Amad wrote.
The post appeared to make a light hearted reference to a golden chance Garnacho missed to give Man United a 3-0 lead on the night, which would have likely prevented the chaotic conclusion to the tie.
Garnacho had been sent clean through on the Lyon goal but with only Lucas Perri to beat, fired straight at the goalkeeper.
Man United fans lauded Amad for his light hearted post, which they claimed summed up one of the most dramatic European nights.
‘This might actually be the greatest tweet of all time. Too real. Unfiltered,’ one fan replied. ‘Pure emotions with different words just joined together. Love it.’
‘You’re too excited Amad to type correctly; we understand you,’ another added.
