A bonkers rule means Chelsea could choose between playing in the Champions League or the Europa League next season. Former Manchester United chief Tom Keane has lifted the lid on the club's record-breaking 2022 summer transfer window. THE TIMESManchester United would mark any potential Europa League success with a celebratory barbecue, with no time for an open-top bus parade. DAILY TELEGRAPHManchester City have made AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders a serious summer target as they plan the rebuilding of Pep Guardiola's squad. DAILY MIRRORLiam Delap is said to be ready to snub interest from Chelsea to sign for Manchester United in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The manager of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola once said: “That’s the beauty of sport. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.”Manchester City bids a fond farewell to 93-year-old Rose Woolrich, who for 50 years has been the matriarch of “Rose’s Photographer’s Room”. When she hangs up her teapot at the end of this season there will not be a dry eye in the stadium. There were tears for Arsenal and joy for Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of of their Champions League semi-final in Paris, and there was much laughter when Harpenden Town FC won the West Hertforshire FA St Mary’s Challenge Cup, a prestigious 137 year-old competition first played in 1888 — almost as long as long as Rose has been at Manchester

Write to letters@thetimes.co.ukSir, It’s fine for the government to say that for businesses to have access to foreign labour they will have to train British workers via apprenticeships and other schemes (“Migrants must earn their right to remain”, May 12), but surely what is needed is to build a workforce that demonstrates a keenness for work. All well and good for those who have a work ethic, but it is very hard for firms to encourage individuals who are reluctant to engage. More needs to be done in our education system to help the latter to appreciate the meaning of getting a job and contributing to society. Simon BowesTarrant Keyneston, DorsetSir, This government is once again tinkering with one element

A split image showing destruction in Gaza and a UK government office making arms export decisions (Representative Image: AI-generated)Poll Do you believe the UK government is violating international law by supplying fighter jet parts to Israel? "Under the Genocide Convention, the UK has a clear legal obligation to do everything within its power to prevent genocide," said Sacha Deshmukh, Amnesty International UK's chief executive. "Yet the UK government continues to authorise the export of military equipment to Israel -- despite all the evidence that genocide is being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza. This is a fundamental failure by the UK to fulfil its obligations. It's complicit, and that complicity must be confronted, exposed and brought to account."

A top general who failed to report evidence of alleged SAS war crimes in Afghanistan later oversaw the rejection of hundreds of UK resettlement applications from Afghan commandos who served with the elite regiment, BBC Panorama can reveal. Gen Sir Gwyn Jenkins led UK Special Forces (UKSF) in Afghanistan at a time when alleged war crimes were committed. He later appointed a UKSF officer under his command, who had also served in Afghanistan, to assess the Afghan commando applications after special forces headquarters was given a controversial veto over them. Thousands of applications from individuals with credible evidence of service with Afghan Special Forces, including the units known as the Triples, were then rejected, leaving many of the former commandos at the mercy of the Taliban. A senior government source close to the process told the BBC that the UK Special Forces officer "would never have acted without direction", adding that "everything would have gone through Gwyn Jenkins".

In the nine days before the Europa League final, Ange Postecoglou will be drumming one message into his players more than any other: win a European trophy for Tottenham Hotspur and you will never be forgotten. Postecoglou is aware of the narrative that could easily develop as the showpiece in Bilbao draws closer, given Manchester United — even through the club’s era of chaos — have won ten trophies since Spurs last lifted one. Tottenham have tended to blink in the big moments. Yet Postecoglou wants to frame it differently to his players in the coming days: as the final that matters more to them. If Ruben Amorim has downplayed the impact of Manchester United winning the

The United States and China took a step on Monday to defuse the trade war between the world’s two largest economies, agreeing to temporarily reduce the punishing tariffs they have imposed on each other. The move by the United States, after President Trump had repeatedly declared that he would not lower tariffs without concessions from China, represented an acknowledgment of the costs of an all-out trade war with China. Despite the White House’s bluster, the Trump administration backed off, for now, from its steepest tariffs, and agreed to hold more formal talks with Beijing after companies and consumers started showing signs of economic strain. Explaining that many of the tariffs that he imposed remain in place, Mr. Trump said at the White House on Monday that talks would be focused in part on “opening up” China to American businesses. He said that he expected to talk to President Xi Jinping of China this week, but that putting a full deal on paper would take a while.

"The closure of the Health and Care Worker visa to new applicants has been framed as a response to growing exploitation, but with the numbers of visas granted to first time entrants already dwindling, it is but a distraction," said Dr Dora-Olivia Vicol, CEO of the UK's Work Rights Centre. "Because of this failed visa scheme, thousands of migrant care workers already in the UK are facing destitution, and the government is yet to offer them any workable support. "As this White Paper sets out, every area of the immigration system - work, family, and study - will be tightened up so we have more control.
