Sick of Arsenal's theatrics, Van Gaal performs hilarious dive

Manchester United have certainly become much more entertaining to watch in recent weeks and manager Louis van Gaal is holding up his end of the bargain with some hilarious theatrics on the touchline at Old Trafford.

During their clash against Arsenal, the Dutchman had enough of the Gunners 'diving' and after a heated 'discussion' with fourth official Mike Dean, he threw himself to the ground with his best Alexis Sanchez impersonation.

"It's emotion," he told Sky Sports. "I don't let myself go too much, but my emotion was a little bit too high, so I have apologised to the referee, the linesman and the fourth official. It is already resolved."

His demonstrative actions were met with huge cheers form the Old Trafford faithful who had reason to smile as the goals continue to flow for the Red Devils, mainly teenage sensation Marcus Rashford, who bagged a brace en route to a 3-2 United victory.

The manager's antics were not lost on fans, who couldn't get enough of his comedic routine.
