These documents, printed at the Bernabeu, surely prove that Real Madrid are telling the truth about Real Madrid.
Forget the fact that Real had been greasing the transfer wheel for over 15 months, the Spanish club are holding to their story that United both the David De Gea move.
Real still claim United made contact with them on the morning of August 31 and initiated the ill-fated De Gea switch.
Once a fee of £18m plus £10m-rated goalkeeper Keylor Navas was agreed, in principle, Real sent off documents for United to sign off on.
United attest that there were late changes to the Navas side of the deal that delayed matters. They insist - and say they have the English FA's backing - that they got all the relevant documents sent off well before 11pm English time.
However, in the latest twist (or plunge) in the sorry De Gea saga, Real president Florentino Perez has appeared on Spanish radio station COPE to reignite the war of words.

Perez' print-outs suggest that United only sent through their Navas documentation at 11pm (midnight Spanish time), meaning there was no time left to finalise the De Gea move.
The president is holding to his line that the club did everything they could to get De Gea to Madrid.
Saying that, the club opted not to appeal the failed transfer to FIFA.
Perez also ruled out a January move for the United goalkeeper and admitted he was not sure if De Gea would leave the English club next summer.
