The manager sees a bright future for Manchester United Women before Sunday’s FA Cup final against Chelsea

Marc Skinner has given his Women’s FA Cup winner ’s medal from last season to his elder daughter and he wants another, to give to her sister. When it comes to Sunday’s Wembley final against Chelsea, there can be no purer form of motivation for a father who, asked what he does in his spare time, points to family.

“I’ve not got a rockstar lifestyle,” the Manchester United manager says. “I’m just a dad who works hard when I’m here and then goes home. We don’t make men’s football wages so we don’t have nannies, we work and we try to balance life. I love spending time with my kids and with Laura [Bassett, his partner]. I go home and I bath the kids every night, I feed them, I take them to bed and just spend time with them. I genuinely get a real love, warmth and a recharge from that.

Met police says boy, 16, and girl, 15, being held on suspicion of animal cruelty in relation to incident in Ruislip

Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty in connection with the deaths of two kittens in London, the Metropolitan police have said.

A 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl were arrested on Friday in relation to an incident in Ruislip, north-west London, on 3 May. The pair remain in custody, the force added.

• Fifa president accompanied US president in Middle East
• Human Rights Watch wants ‘meaningful accountability’

Gianni Infantino should account for his trip alongside Donald Trump to the Gulf this week and “detail precisely what it achieved for football and human rights”, according to a leading critic of Fifa’s governance.

Human Rights Watch says that Infantino’s trip, in which he accompanied the US president to Qatar and Saudi Arabia and missed a series of key meeting at Fifa’s annual congress, was indicative of the lack of “meaningful accountability” at the top of football’s global authority.

• Premier League updates from the 7.30pm BST kick-off
• Live scores | Table | Today’s Football Daily | Email Yara

In our 10 things to look out for this weekend Ben Fisher wrote that Aston Villa could use their “anger” and the rescheduling of this fixture to motivate them to a win. The Premier League agreed to bring forward Tottenham’s trip to Villa Park by 48 hours in order to help them prepare for a Europa League final (before they even reached said final).

The flipside to all of this is Villa can get on the front foot, kicking off 45 minutes before Chelsea entertain Manchester United and two days before Nottingham Forest head to West Ham and Arsenal host Newcastle. Victory for Villa could hoist them as high as fourth before a final-day trip to Old Trafford and, psychologically, that could prove a knockout blow.

Europe and Kyiv are showing increasing deftness and coordination, but Mr Trump is an unfriendly audience

The first direct talks between Russia and Ukraine for three years should have been a momentous occasion. Since 2022, Russian war crimes have only deepened the chasm between them. Yet Donald Trump, who demanded this meeting, underlined that it was largely a charade when he told reporters: “Nothing’s going to happen until Putin and I get together.” It made plain that Russia felt no pressure to cooperate.

While difficult negotiations often begin on easier terrain, the agreement of a mass prisoner swap looked like a discrete achievement. The real significance of the Istanbul talks lay less in their substance than the messages sent by their existence and attendance list.

• Commercial law firm was founded in Liverpool in 1810
• ‘One of the largest stadium naming rights deals in Europe’

Everton’s new home at Bramley-Moore dock will be known as Hill Dickinson Stadium, the club has announced, after a naming rights deal with the commercial law firm.

Everton have been seeking a naming rights partner for their £800m stadium for some time and had hoped to attract a blue-chip company to their impressive development on the banks of the river Mersey. They have signed a long-term deal with Hill Dickinson, which was founded in Liverpool in 1810 and has expanded into Europe and Asia in recent years.

Tove Jansson’s magical stories provide a message of tolerance, inclusivity and hope amid today’s refugee crisis

All Moomin fans will recognise the turreted blue house that is home to the family of gentle, upright‑hippo‑like creatures. The stove-shaped tower is a symbol of comfort and welcome throughout the nine Moomin novels by the celebrated Nordic writer and artist Tove Jansson. Now the house is the inspiration for a series of art installations in UK cities, in collaboration with Refugee Week , to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the creation of the Moomins.

Taking the motto “The door is always open”, building will begin next week on a 12ft blue house outside London’s Southbank Centre, just a stone’s throw from Westminster. All of the installations, by artists from countries including Afghanistan, Syria and Romania, deal with displacement: in Bradford, the Palestinian artist Basel Zaraa has created a refugee tent in which to imagine life after occupation and war; in Gateshead, natural materials are being foraged to build To Own Both Nothing and the Whole World (a quote from Jansson’s philosophical character Snufkin); and a Moomin raft will launch from Gloucester Docks.

Latest twist in a contest between iPhone maker and Epic Games over payments for hit game on Apple devices

Epic Games says Fortnite is now unavailable on iPhones and iPads globally because Apple blocked a bid to release the popular video game in the App Store in the US and Europe.

“Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union,” the X account for Fortnite posted early Friday – claiming that Apple’s move would now prevent the game’s iOS availability around the world.

Team principal Fred Vasseur talks of ‘extra pressure’ for Hamilton’s first grand prix in Italy for the Scuderia

On the short walk from the railway station in Imola to the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, the tree-lined streets, scattering dappled spring sunshine, throng with the faithful. They come adorned in the rosso corsa of the Scuderia , heading towards their first home race of the season and the long-awaited chance to see the seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton take to the track for the team they feel are their own.

The anticipation, building for more than a year, is palpable and the passion that comes with it all too striking – as Hamilton is more than aware.
