The firm was served a closure order in April.
Its last financial details, for the year ending January 31, 2023, show it owed £53,953, had £4,772 banked, £25,126 of unsold stock and was owed £339.
Lingard, 32, who played 32 times for England, scoring six, placed his fashion brand, JLingz Ltd, into voluntary liquidation in January after piling up a £276,000 debt.
He now plays for South Korean club FC Seoul.
Lingard spent eight months without a side after leaving the City Ground, before penning a two-year deal in the Korean capital.
The former Manchester United star has scored four goals in 16 league matches for Seoul this season, who sit seventh in the K League 1.
He has said "life's good" in Korea and believes he has rapidly adapted to the different style of football.
The United academy star also admitted to scoffing McDonalds and Papa Johns since moving to Korea.

Alan Shearer says Alexander Isak statement poured ‘flames on the fire'
Former Newcastle captain Alan Shearer believes wantaway striker Alexander Isak has poured 'flames on the fire' of his stand-off with the Magpies by accusing the club of breaking promises, and said his comments 'don't benefit anyone'. Isak has been trying to force a move out of Newcastle all summer but was frustrated earlier this month when the club rejected an offer from Liverpool, reportedly worth £110million plus add-ons. Having sat out their pre-season tour of Asia and trained alone since, missing Saturday's goalless draw at Aston Villa in Newcastle's Premier League opener, Isak escalated the situation further on Tuesday night with a post on Instagram in which he said 'the relationship can't continue'. Speaking to Betfair, Shearer said the situation is now an 'absolute mess' as he pointed the finger at Isak's agent Vlado Lemic. 'If I was him, I'd get his agent in a room and sack him on the spot immediately, because he is meant to be giving him the advice to sign that six-year deal and there's no get out clause,' Shearer said. 'I mean, it's ridiculous. And to take anyone's word in football… it's nonsensical to say that someone said, 'Oh, I'll be able to get out at the end of the season'. Really? I mean, come on… 'I've always said there are two sides to every story, but my feelings are exactly the same: he's gone about it in the wrong way… 'I just think even releasing this statement last night has thrown flames onto the fire, which he didn't need to do. 'I get that we needed to hear his side of the story and we've heard that now, and I'm not saying I don't believe him or I don't believe Newcastle, I'm just saying it's very, very messy for him and for the football club. It doesn't benefit anyone.' In his statement, posted on Instagram on Tuesday evening, Isak had said: 'The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To act now as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. 'When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue.' Newcastle responded by denying that Isak had been granted any assurances over a potential move. 'We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer,' a club statement said. This is the latest episode in what has already been the primary saga of this transfer window. Liverpool had a bid rejected at the start of August but have retained an interest in a player who scored 27 goals in 42 games for Newcastle last season despite signing Hugo Ekitike – a forward who was also targeted by Newcastle. Newcastle are said to value Isak at £150million, and would only consider a sale if they have signed a replacement. As well as missing out on Ekitike, Newcastle were frustrated in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko who chose to join Manchester United. Isak has three years remaining on his contract at St James' Park.

Okafor and a few more?
As Leeds close in on the signing of Switzerland international winger Noah Okafor from AC Milan, pending his medical, it seems supporters are still wondering when or if another pure centre forward will arrive at Elland Road. That is because Okafor, 25, who is expected to cost around £17m, can be viewed as this season's Manor Solomon rather than as a continue to be asked about the injury risk surrounding former Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin which the club have been candid in recognising, especially after bringing in Lukas Nmecha who has had his own fitness issues too. However, Calvert-Lewin, was not a knee-jerk purchase, by the club's recruitment. He was seen as a key target who Leeds are delighted to land as he turned down Champions League football and other attractive offers to settle on Elland Road. At 28 years of age, with more than 50 and 200 Premier League goals and appearances respectively, the Yorkshireman will feel he can be the main in the track record of Daniel Farke and his medical staff of successfully managing players like Solomon, Sam Byram, Ethan Ampadu and Pascal Struijk back from injury in recent seasons. It is understandable that with Calvert-Lewin's quality, ability and experience, on a free transfer he could prove to be a canny piece of Nmecha, Joel Piroe and home-grown Harry Gray constitute Farke's fire power and although he is open to further options up front he did admit that he was cautious of having too many strikers. He's said: "I'm not a believer having six or seven (strikers) in the squad. I wouldn't rule out another right now the focus is on other positions." That is where Okafor comes in and also the search for another full-back with Leicester City's James Justin one of a few defenders in the club's sights. The Foxes captain's former team-mate Jamie Vardy, who is without a club, has been suggested by some supporters as worth a punt by Leeds. But at 38 years of age and with the physicality United have typically been looking at in their recruits, the former England man does not fit the profile. Do you have a question about Leeds United?

Italy's Valentino hires fashion industry veteran Bellini as CEO
ROME, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Valentino has appointed industry veteran Riccardo Bellini as new chief executive, it said on Wednesday, hiring him from the Qatari fund Mayhoola which is the Italian fashion house's parent company. Bellini, who will take up the role at the start of September, replaces Jacopo Venturini whose departure was announced last week. The appointment is part of the large-scale change in management and artistic direction sweeping across the fashion industry as it grapples with a deep slump in key U.S. and Chinese markets. New designers will debut at labels including Chanel, Balenciaga, Loewe, Maison Margiela and Versace in upcoming fashion weeks in September and October. "I am honored to join Valentino, an iconic maison that blends extraordinary heritage and craftsmanship with a unique creative voice," Bellini said in a statement. Bellini had been managing director at Mayhoola, a role he took up only in January, according to his LinkedIn profile. He will work alongside creative director Alessandro Michele as part of a new top team at Valentino. Michele joined Valentino last year. Bellini previously served as CEO of luxury brands Maison Margiela and Chloé, and held leadership roles at Diesel and Procter & Gamble. His appointment comes at a time of uncertainty for Valentino, founded in Rome in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti. The label is now part-owned by French luxury conglomerate Kering ( opens new tab, which bought a 30% stake from Mayhoola for 1.7 billion euros ($2 billion) in 2023, with a commitment to buy the rest by 2028. Last month, Mayhoola denied a newspaper report that the two shareholders were considering selling Valentino. Kering, which will have former Renault boss Luca de Meo as its new CEO from next month, declined to comment at the time. ($1 = 0.8572 euros)
