Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained his touchline behaviour at the beginning of their 1-1 draw with Arsenal.

From the first minute, Solskjaer shouted on dozens of occasions, sometimes leaping from his seat at the back of the bench, and several times appearing to feverishly gesticulate towards players, including Paul Pogba, Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard.

He shouted and pointed, waved his arms and had several intense discussions with the players near the sideline.

The manager later explained to VG: "The first 15-20 minutes we were a little I think we could have been a little more direct and positive.

"I just wanted the boys to seize the moment, because I felt we controlled the first-half without really creating enough.

"Sometimes you sit down, but other times you just get that feeling, you need to explain further."
