David De Gea has added his voice to the huge online reaction to Louis van Gaal’s bizarre touchline dive yesterday.
The Manchester United boss flung himself to the ground during a heated row with the fourth official during the match with Arsenal and prompted a wave of jokes and memes.
De Gea tweeted an update yesterday evening to let everyone know Van Gaal was fine afterwards.

[/raw]@D_DeGea @MANUTDNEWS22 @ManUtd Thanks for telling us Dave. I'm worried he may broke his back or got a backpain. Fans love his passion! 😂

He may appear bonkers to the rest of us, but it looks like van Gaal has finally found the way to United fans’ hearts.
