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.
Definite dive from Louis Van Gaal.

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?
Louis van Gaal absolutely destroying Ferguson and Busby in terms of Vine loops by now, surely.

All it took for LVG to win Old Trafford back was an 18-year-old striker and falling over.

Final: Man. United 3, Arsenal 2. Awful result for Gunners. Here's the top-selling poster in Manchester this week: pic.twitter.com/XDpKMRjrgH
