Erik ten Hag and Anthony Martial were seen arguing with each other during Manchester United's match against Newcastle on Saturday evening.
Ten Hag was furious with the striker for not coming back as Newcastle almost conceded a goal for Miguel Almiron.
He remonstrated with the 27-year-old as he was clearly outraged by his perceived lack of effort.
However, Martial did not seem to mind the criticism and waved his arms in frustration at his manager.
His evening did not improve after that as he was taken off the field in the 61st minute, with Erik ten Hag making a double substitution after his side fell behind following a tap-in from Anthony Gordon.

Lately, Ten Hag has had problems within his own squad, especially regarding some of his biggest stars.
He first had a very public feud with Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo but has since ruled out £73million man Jadon Sancho for disciplinary reasons and now faces a feud with Raphael Varane.
And in a new twist, the United boss appears to be dealing with a different group of players.
Cameras recorded an incident between the Dutchman and his French striker Martial, in which 'both involved a lot of arm waving'.

Ten Hag looked indignant at the lack of effort from his players and Martial did not seem to follow his runner, giving Miguel Almiron the opportunity to score.
Jermaine Jenas also slammed Marcus Rashford for his 'criminal' lack of effort in the first half.
At half-time, Jenas said on Discovery+: “I think it was bad. I think his body language was shocking throughout the whole match, too many moments where he was throwing his arms around. I feel like he was almost sending a message to his manager sends, like 'I don't want to'.” “I don't want to play here.”
“Things like this are really criminal, putting your team under that kind of pressure by not fulfilling your duties as a wide man to track back
