Manchester United's share price sky-rocketed to a peak of $26.56 on Thursday afternoon after reports seemed to suggest the Glazers had selected Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani as a preferred bidder.

The news came shortly after confirmation that Sheikh Jassim's Nine Two Holdings Limited had been certified as a UK company by Companies House, with the banker as a director and an address registered in London.
Those two developments combined to send United's share price through the roof, peaking at $26.56 by 3.50pm - around the time that the Reuters report was published.
