Hi, Not sure how your linking your posts so I am going to go on a limb and just give you some code you might be able to edit to get your data but note I could be way of due to not seeing your codes or having much to go on.

I have not tested this so I might not have it all completely correct you will need to debug if not or change to suit your needs.

// only fires when viewing currently logged-in user's profile page
add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'my_show_extra_profile_fields' );
// only fires when viewing another user's profile page
add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'my_show_extra_profile_fields' );

// you can add different actions for either of the above hocks

//adding our function for calling on user profile both edit and show
function my_show_extra_profile_fields($user_id) { 

// get the users name as user field in ACF
$user_d = get_user_by( 'id', $user_id )
$nice_name_user = $user_d->username;

//query for info of posts change to suit below
query_posts(array(
    'orderby' => 'post_date' , 
    'post_type' => 'post or custom post name' , 
    'meta_key' => 'custom acf name', 
    'meta_value' => $nice_name_user ,
    'posts_per_page' => 100)
  );

if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();

//echo out your info here
echo'<p>'.get_field( "the acf name of filed to display from the post" ).'</p>';

endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query(); 

 }
