Important to note, despite the excitement, that the paperwork for Nine Two UK Holdings Limited was sent to Companies House months ago. A lot of people getting excited about the date of incorporation (15 June). But this was initiated long before Qatar's last two offers.
This is again evidence that Nine Two Foundation (much like INEOS) are preparing (and being prepared by the seller), so if given the green light they are ready to execute the deal.
Those close to both groups still haven't been given a definitive answer. It's such a big moment for #MUFC, so important not to jump the gun.

Chelsea will advance their pursuit of Moises Caicedo over the coming weeks. Brighton will let Caicedo leave. This was clear when he extended. It's going to take around £70m guaranteed and £10m in add ons. Caicedo fully open to the move even without European football.🔵
Those close to Caicedo indicate nothing is imminent yet despite talks ongoing.
Arsenal focused on Declan Rice right now, despite bidding for Caicedo in January and planning for this summer with him on their list. As per @garyjacob, #AFC interest has cooled.

Understand that the European Court of Justice's ruling on the European Super League has been delayed until at least August despite being originally expected in April or May.
December's non-binding recommendation ruled UEFA and FIFA's right to block clubs from joining a breakaway league is compatible with EU law.
Juventus, one of three founding members remaining, haven't yet formally left the ESL, but they have initiated talks with Real Madrid and Barcelona to discuss a "potential exit".
Kylian Mbappe issues a statement to AFP saying PSG were verbally "informed on July 15, 2022" that he wouldn't trigger a one-year extension until 2025.
🗣️ "The only aim of the letter [informing PSG of this on Monday] was to confirm what had already been spoken about previously...
"Kylian Mbappe and his entourage confirm that this matter has not been discussed since over the course of the year, except a fortnight ago to announce the sending of the letter. No potential contract extension has been mentioned...
"After maintaining publicly in recent weeks that he would be a PSG player next season, Kylian Mbappe has not asked to leave this summer and has just confirmed to the club that he would not be activating the extra year...
Understand that the Chelsea sale funds are not far off being released. Both the UK Government and the Foundation awaiting the money both want Ukraine to benefit as quickly as possible now, especially given the recent destruction of the Kakhovka dam.
The proceeds are frozen in a UK bank account after the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) issued a licence permitting Roman Abramovich to sell #CFC. Funds can't be moved or used without a licence from OFSI.
Humanitarian experts outside of Government are responsible for what is being termed a "highly complex process" to establish a Foundation to manage and distribute the proceeds for humanitarian purposes in Ukraine.
🚨 BREAKING: Kylian Mbappe has written a letter confirming he will not activate his one-year extension at PSG. Mbappe signed a 2+1 contract and under the terms he had until 31 July to activate the extra year.
If Mbappe failed to inform PSG at all then on August 1 he would have also lost the ability to take the extra year. PSG fuming because the letter was provided to media before the club saw it.
Mbappe's contract, if a new deal is not agreed, will thus end in 2024. PSG have no intention to lose Mbappe for free and this means he could be sold this summer.
