The internet can’t stop laughing at Louis van Gaal’s touchline dive

You can keep your observational comedy and your cutting satire, it's a truth universally acknowledged that there's no funnier sight than someone falling over in public.

Okay, maybe one thing. Someone deliberately and dramatically falling over to prove a point. Louis van Gaal, clearly disappointed with the lack of entertainment in the second half of Manchester United's victory over Arsenal, decided to do this. https://twitter.com/JonnyGabriel/status/703967546752557056 https://twitter.com/1690Jamie/status/703967598803873792

Honestly, we've never seen anything like it. Or we thought we hadn't, until someone reminded us of a similar scenario.

There seemed to be a Manchester flavour to proceedings too, for those willing to cast their minds back to New Year's Eve.

Some felt the Dutchman might have bought himself more time with his theatrics

And would Sir Alex Ferguson ever have been able to pull off something like that?

And it brought the best out of photoshop enthusiasts.
