From those who saw:

Luca Toni: "He wanted to make clear to us that he can drop any player from team. It was all the same to him because, as he said, he had the balls. He demonstrated this literally by dropping his pants. I have never experienced anything like it, it was totally crazy. Luckily I didn’t see a lot, because I wasn’t in the front row.”

Mark van Bommel: "He tried to explain to the team that when he made a substitution, he did so for the sake of the team, not for himself. He asked me to translate his point to the players, but after several attempts he thought I hadn’t done it well enough. So he tried to make the point in his own way. By dropping his pants. But later this moment was often parodied by us"

Louis van Gaal: “I once dropped my pants in front of the entire squad. Because I wanted to make clear: when I make a substitution, I don’t do so for my own ego, but for the sake of the team. I do everything for the team and I use everything I can to illustrate that. My voice, my mind, and everything else I’ve got. This shows the strength of our team sprit.”
