Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has drawn criticism for a lack of emotion on the touchline. During United’s match against Arsenal, van Gaal let it all pour out after a questionable call gave the Gunners a free kick.
The Dutch manager was convinced Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez went to the ground a little too easily to draw a foul call. And to drive that point home to the fourth official, van Gaal pantomimed Sanchez’s dive.
The call stood, but that takes nothing away from van Gaal’s valiant effort. Of course, Twitter commemorated the moment as only Twitter can:
