Former Man Utd striker Wout Weghorst reacted angrily to a training ground clash with Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber on international duty with the Netherlands.
Weghorst, who spent six months on loan at Man Utd from Burnley in the 2022/23 season, was left annoyed by a challenge from during a training session on Sunday.
Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman was forced to intervene as the two players exchanged verbals with Weghorst explaining to Koeman about the tackle.
When told about the challenge from Timber by Weghorst, Koeman was heard saying: I said something to you, I said something to them.
However, former Burnley and striker Weghorst would not let it go and Koeman shouted: And now it’s over!
Weghorst then briefly stood around with his hands on a training mannequin before gradually joining back in with training but after completing the rest of the session he took his shirt off and stormed off the pitch.
Koeman, whose team are preparing for their Nations League match against Germany on Tuesday, was then heard insisting he has no injury after watching a visibly annoyed Weghorst leave the field.

Netherlands boss Koeman insisted last week that Steven Bergwijn’s international career is over after his move to Saudi Arabia.
Former Tottenham winger Bergwijn on Monday completed a transfer from Ajax to Al Ittihad – a switch Koeman claims is based on money.
“The book is basically closed,” Koeman said at a press conference on Tuesday.
“I think that when you’re 26, the ambition should be sporting and not financial. He could have stayed at Ajax, that’s not bad either. And I think they pay pretty well there too.
“Anyway, everyone has a different view and it’s their choice. I personally wouldn’t have made it.”
Asked if Bergwijn had spoken to him before signing, Koeman said: “No. I think he would have known what I would have said.”
