Is this what Mike Ashley said to Ed Woodward?

Newcastle United’s owner, the subject of fan protests, reportedly greeted Manchester United’s under-fire executive vice-chairman with a grin and and out-stretched hand in the boardroom.

Ashley, according to The Athletic, joked: “The most unpopular man in football meets the second most unpopular man in football.”

The two clubs met at St James’s Park before the international break.

Newcastle won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Matty Longstaff.
