Richard Arnold met with former Manchester United chief executive David Gill at a restaurant in Cheshire on Tuesday.
Arnold, United's incumbent chief executive, met with Gill at Cibo in Hale on Tuesday afternoon, three days after he spoke with protestors at his local pub after hearing of a planned protest outside his home.
The 51-year-old could have been comparing notes on the job with Gill after the events of Saturday, with Gill having spent 16 years working at Old Trafford, including 10 as chief executive, before leaving in 2013.
