EGM, lads? Sir Alex Ferguson & David Gill arrived at Old Trafford 8 hours before Olympiakos kick-off [Pictures]

You know what they say: the early bird catches the worm.

The Manchester United board took the old proverb to the nth degree this morning, arriving at Old Trafford at 11.45, a good eight hours before kick-off for tonight’s Champions League return leg against Olympiakos.

Sir Alex, David Gill, and Sir Bobby Charlton all rocked up to OT this morning looking bright eyed and bushy tailed.

With speculation mounting that a replacement is being lined up for David Moyes as early as next week – the likes of van Gaal being bandied about – the board arriving so early at HQ was a little conspicuous.

Anyone would think they had some urgent meeting to get to…

Or maybe they were just looking to land a few late tickets from a local tout, who knows.
