now, it is time for a round—up of sport. hello there, welcome to sportsday. i'm paul scott at a busy bbc sport centre on a day of cup finals. here's what's coming up. wembley turns red — manchester united beat rivals manchester city to lift the fa cup. but what next for boss erik ten hag? iamat i am at hampden, as celtic lift the scottish cup after a last—minute goal against rivals rangers.

elsewhere, a swan song — or perhaps not. on the eve of the tournament, rafael nadal refuses to say if this is his final french open. also coming up on sportsday: for this first time this season, max verstappen won't lead the grid as he misses out on the record for consecutive poles, after a bad afternoon in monaco for the reigning world champion. welcome to the programme. it was a repeat of last year's fa cup final, but with a different result. despite facing difficult questions about the future of boss erik ten hag, his manchester united side denied rivals manchester city from securing a league and cup double by winning 2—1 at wembley. our sports correspondent natalie pirks has the story. familiar foes with vastly different fortunes. as reports intensified about the

fate of manchester united's manager, fans laid blame firmly elsewhere. you have to start to question the players eventually. back the manager, all day long. the players need to have a look at themself. would this be ten hag's last stand? the owners were watching with interest. but they got a first half to savour. when gvardiol�*s clearance evaded back—up keeper ortega, garnacho seized his chance. commentator: and it's a gift of a goal! - the pressure was beginning to release. city were the heavy favourites, but it was united who were driving through the gears. their second was a true team effort. and mainoo scores! yet another academy star, kobbie mainoo, sending united into raptures and prompting stunned anger from the city bench. time to ring the changes, and with doku on for the second half, this was more like it. onana had to be alert to the danger posed by the wounded champions. but late in the game, he wasn't quite so composed —

nervy times for fans well—versed in seeing their side throw away leads. manchester united are the fa cup winners! but the burst of emotion on the final whistle said it all. well, even the most optimistic red could not have predicted this result. that victory means united will have european football, and a season which was in ruins now has something to show for it. ten hag could still be going, but he's doing it in a blaze of glory. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. let's focus on his future, shall we? reports before the game suggested it could be erik ten hag's final game in charge, but could this result now save his job? let's hearfrom the united boss after he and his side lifted the famous trophy. all the components to the team. they played very good. to our identity. very strong. you have seen, if we

have the players on board, and how we can play, and our philosophy. they are not even fit, some not even match fit, but i think the performance really good. only thing i'm doing is preparing my team, develop my team, progress my team, and individual players, because this is from a project, and when i came in, i can say it was a mess, and we are now better. i always said, we are now better. i always said, we are better, but we are by far not where we want to be. so defeat for manchester city, then, as pep guardiola's side finish the campaign as premier league champions — not quite the treble they won last season. and the city manager wasn't really in the talkative mood post—match. many things happen in the final today, — many things happen in the final today, many decisions, so many things— today, many decisions, so many things happen, and at the end, they scored _ things happen, and at the end, they scored two — things happen, and at the end, they scored two goals and we could not score _ scored two goals and we could not score more — scored two goals and we could not score more-— scored two goals and we could not score more. ., ., , ~ ,, score more. you said any week if you lost the final — score more. you said any week if you lost the final you _ score more. you said any week if you

lost the final you wanted _ score more. you said any week if you lost the final you wanted to - score more. you said any week if you lost the final you wanted to be - lost the final you wanted to be because the other team were better, not because you were not yourselves. do you feel that was the case today? you don't feel united were better? no. kelly somers with the questions there. well, it wasn'tjust at wembley where there was a derby on cup final day. in scotland, celtic beat rangers by 1—0 in the first old firm scottish cup final since 2002. jane dougall reports from hampden park. there has been so much anticipation in the build up to this old firm scottish cup final. it's been 22 years since both sides faced each other here at hampden park in the scottish cup final, it was a cagey affair to scottish cup final, it was a cagey affairto begin scottish cup final, it was a cagey affair to begin with, in the first half, there was a shout for a penalty for celtic. i was waved away. and then there was a disallowed goal for rangers early on the second half. it was not until the second half. it was not until the 89th minute that the deadlock was broken by adam eta for celtic, and of course that has won them the cup. the players have had a long

season. there fans it had to endure a long season too. they did take the lead title, but of course rangers, their bitter rivals, push them all their bitter rivals, push them all the way for that. rangers did win the way for that. rangers did win the league cup, and they had been hoping for the double if they were to win the scottish cup here at hampden, but it was not to be. it was celtic taking it in the very last minutes. this is brendan rodgers's second piece of silverware in his returning season for the club. there was a little bit of trepidation when he was offered the job initially, but now the celtic fans have certainly made it clear that they have welcomed him back with open arms. they have won the double this season in his first season back with the club, and the players have not stopped celebrating since. yes, as jane says, it is the leak and cup double for celtic this season. here's their boss brendan rodgers. a fantastic season. win a double, i

think the problem can be that when you win trophies, it becomes an expectation, but you see today, you never get tired of it. to enact a double, i think over the course of years, the league and the scottish cup were very much close together, but of course the finances now and the resources of champions league means that the title becomes even more important, but you can't take away with the scottish cup means for this club and for the supporters stop —— and forthe —— and for the supporters. well, it's a day of finals, with the uefa women's champions league also reaching its climax this afternoon. defending champions barcelona — who saw off chelsea in the semi—finals — are taking on eight—time winners lyon in bilbao. they are currently 1—0 up. it's their star player aitana bonmati who got the goal. around ten minutes to go in that one. well, whatever happens with erik ten

hag's future at manchester united, it's sure to be a summer of managerial change. bbc sport understands that burnley boss vincent kompany has agreed a deal to take over at german side bayern munich. burnley were recently relegated from the premier league, and now their manager is departing along with two members of his backroom staff. but assistant manager craig bellamy is not heading to the bundesliga. bayern have been searching for a boss to replace thomas tuchel, who announced he would step down at the end of the season. in another managerial appointment, wayne rooney has been confirmed as the new boss of championship side plymouth argyle. rooney's previous job as manager was short—lived, as he lost nine of his 15 games in charge of birmingham city before being dismissed. it's his fourth job as a manager, having also previously been in charge at derby county and american side dc united. rooney is part of the bbc�*s fa cup final coverage and says this about his new role. idid not

or southampton will secure promotion to the premier league tomorrow. the winners of the play—off final at wembley will return to the top flight at the first time of asking, having both been relegated last year. southampton boss russell martin is keen to enjoy the occasion. it's such a privilege to play in a game of this magnitude. you go your whole career as a player not playing in a game like this, as a manager, so i feel grateful to be in this position at 38 years old, leading a team out at wembley. it can motivate the opposition for sure. we need to make sure we use it as an advantage and it is a positive for a positive for us and something we can use in ourfavour. they have many, many experienced players _ they have many, many experienced players. they have an experienced and really — players. they have an experienced and really classy coach. the last two decades they've spent more time in the _ two decades they've spent more time in the premier league team than we were allowed to spend there, so it

archer took two wickets as they bowled the tourists out for 160. archer's performance will give england a big boost ahead of the defence of their t20 world cup title next month. toulouse have won rugby union's champions cup after beating leinster, but they needed extra time to do so. with the score 15—15 at full—time, it took almost another a0 minutes for toulouse to get over the line, this try from matthis lebel helping them gain an early advantage. leinster did make somewhat of a comeback, but this thomas ramos penalty early in the second half of extra time helped calm toulouse nerves. the french side ultimately winning 31—22 to pick up the trophy once again, sparking jubilant celebrations. in the women's premiership, saracens secured second place and a home semifinal

in the play—offs with a narrow 33—31 win over leaders gloucester—hartpury. may campbell's second try of the day ending gloucester�*s hopes of finishing the season unbeaten. in the super league, catalan dragons are currently playing warrington wolves in peripignan in france. warrington are currently 8—2 up early into the second half. they went ahead thanks to this josh thewlis kick. however, this high tackle from lachlan fitzgibbon saw him sent to the sidelines in one of two sin bins. the tackle also presented frenchman arthur mourgue the opportunity to equalise, which he did, before a george williams try just a short time ago. the wolves, backed by over 1,000 fans in the south of france, could go level with st helens at the top with a win. now, is red bull's period of domination in formula one coming to an end? max verstappen was expected to retain his world title

with ease this year. he's already failed to win two races, and today in monaco, he failed to claim pole for the first time this season. starting from the front where it matters most will be charles leclerc. nick parrott reports. the most glamourous date on the formula i calendar is one of the toughest. monaco's narrow twisty streets of the last place you want to get caught in traffic the that is what has happened to former winners fernando alonso and sergio perez in the first qualifying. they will start from 16th and 18th. in practice max verstappen had complained his red bull was bouncing look a kangaroo full zero shipping equalled the record of a consecutive poles last time out, but his hope of bettering it ended at the for score of his final run. this bettering it ended at the for score of his final run.— of his final run. this car is slippery! _ of his final run. this car is slippery! there _ of his final run. this car is slippery! there was - of his final run. this car is slippery! there was no . of his final run. this car is - slippery! there was no catching charles leclerc, _ slippery! there was no catching charles leclerc, but _ slippery! there was no catching charles leclerc, but that - slippery! there was no catching charles leclerc, but that he - slippery! there was no catching | charles leclerc, but that he was born in monaco. he took the top spot

to come back from 14th on the grid to finish second in the sprint race for moto gp's catalan grand prix. world champion francesco bagnaia's crash on the final lap handed victory to spain's aleix espargaro. tadej pogacar claimed his sixth win at the giro d'italia to extend his overall lead to almost ten minutes with just sunday's processional run to rome to go. he finished more than two minutes ahead of the main group. britain's geraint thomas was seventh on his 38th birthday and will claim third overall behind dani martinez. lorena viebers came out on top for the second day running at the ridelondon classique in essex. the dutch rider now has a 20—second lead over belgium's lotte kopecky going into tomorrow's final stage in london. lizzie deignan is the highest placed briton in eighteenth overall, half a minute off the lead. and a day after winning the women's ten metre platform event

at the british diving championships, andrea spendolini—sirieix has claimed another gold medal. victory alongside lois toulson in the ten metro synchro means they've qualified for the paris olympics in that event. rafael nadal says he now can't be certain that this year's french open will be his last. he's been drawn against one of the favourites, alexander zverev, in the first round. it was widely expected that this year would be his last on tour, but he now says this appearance at roland garros is "probably" his last. it's a big, big chance that it's going to be my last roland garros, but if i have to tell you it's100% my last roland garros, sorry, but i will not, because i cannot predict what's going on. my personal feelings are better now

than one month and half ago, without a doubt, so in some way, i don't want to close 100% the door. earlier, i caught up with the bbc�*s tennis correspondent russell fuller, who says nadal is feeling confident heading in to his 19th french open. the draw against alex zverev, as nadal said in his understated way, on paper is not the easiest, but i think the way that nadal was talking to give his fans a lot of confidence, because here's a man who in his last competitive match was thrashed in rome most of that was only around about ten days ago. he said he was a disaster, he said he had been practising well in rome, but he feels he has made progress since then, he is moving a lot better, he is running freely along the baseline to me is playing better, and this is roland garros, where he is a lit time champion. it is a horrible, horrible start for him, but of course because nadal such a great champion of roland garros, that does cause some issues for alex of arab, because he expected to win if you look at the

seedings, but it's not easy to be a manual such and are in these hallows surroundings. the manual such and are in these hallows surroundinqs-— surroundings. the order of plate is for sunday and _ surroundings. the order of plate is for sunday and the _ surroundings. the order of plate is for sunday and the night _ surroundings. the order of plate is for sunday and the night session i for sunday and the night session sees andy murray take on stanford drinker. both of those now, unfortunately, past their prime, thatis unfortunately, past their prime, that is not a blockbuster tie in the opening round —— —— stan wawrinka. those creaking old bones may not enjoy the temperatures if it goes past midnight! the evenings are not particular warm, and they have a combined age of 76, but what first round draw. a lot of history and roland garros, in fact. wawrinka against murray will be the third match in a row from murray's perspective and roland garros. he will remember the 2017 meeting with very, very mixed feelings, because of the semifinal, he nearly made the final a second year in a row, having beaten wawrinka 12 months earlier,

but having had problems with his hip clear in that we could that fifth set of the semifinal of the hip pretty much seized up, he was not want to —— able to sleep that night, that match was never the same again. curious, seven years later, yes, probably in his final summer the bit still out there and so try to be a 39—year—old shows no signs of retiring any time soon. 39-year-old shows no signs of retiring any time soon. russell else catches your _ retiring any time soon. russell else catches your eye — retiring any time soon. russell else catches your eye on _ retiring any time soon. russell else catches your eye on sunday - retiring any time soon. russell else catches your eye on sunday order . retiring any time soon. russell else | catches your eye on sunday order of play? we have got former champions in action in the women's draw. yes. in action in the women's draw. yes, the former— in action in the women's draw. yes, the former champions... _ in action in the women's draw. yes, the former champions... this - in action in the women's draw. is: the former champions... this also the former champions... this also the home hope caroline garcia. she will beyond the home court. opening the programme will be naomi osaka, who has handled her success on the hard court, but she did reach the fourth round in rome two weeks ago in what is still relatively early in her comeback from having a baby, and she's playing better and betterfrom a british perspective, the other

player in action on the opening day, on one of the outside courts, it is jack draper come up against the dutch qualifierjesper dejong. it's been dubbed one of the biggest grudge matches in british boxing history. jack catterall will get a chance for revenge when he faces josh taylor in a re—match of their light welterweight clash later tonight. the pair fought in 2022 with many observers believing that catterall won the fight, but the judges gave it in favour of taylor, who was then the undisputed king of the division — although he's since lost the belts. catterall has long called for a rematch and will finally get the chance to avenge that controversial loss. it will be a relief come saturday. it's been a fight that has been talked about way before the first fight, and then two years in the aftermath since the first fight, so our names have been linked. in a roundabout way, it's good for boxing and it's good for us, the rivalry we have created, but to win convincingly saturday, draw a line under it and move on with my career, that will be good. he's talking about how he is gonna

contribution of the people that actually made the sport a better place is... yeah, couldn't ask for any more than that. the medals are great, but will we managed do for the history of sport and knowing that we actually will have had such a positive impact on the future of children's lives and notjust kids, other coaches coming through, and that's something that i never imagined ashley would be able to do. what would it mean to make the team? it would mean a lot. after everything, it is led chose to stay for, a big reason i chose to say, so, yeah, having the time to let it actually sink in and regardless of what the journey looks like between now and paris, and if! what the journey looks like between now and paris, and if i am selected, when you are there, what results are, i thinkjust appreciating what manage to achieve, to get back to this position, to actually be selected, is huge.- this position, to actually be selected, is huge. ellie, is this a moment where _ selected, is huge. ellie, is this a moment where you _ selected, is huge. ellie, is this a moment where you go, - selected, is huge. ellie, is this a moment where you go, i'm - selected, is huge. ellie, is this a i moment where you go, i'm getting that inch? hat moment where you go, i'm getting that inch? ., ., ., �* that inch? not for me! no! i'm quite ha - that inch? not for me! no! i'm quite ha-- to that inch? not for me! no! i'm quite happy to be — that inch? not for me! no! i'm quite

firstly, manchester united have beaten rivals manchester city 2—1 to win the fa cup at wembley stadium. could it extend erik ten hag's time as manager at old trafford? we will wait and see. the win also means united will play in the europa league next season, with chelsea dropping into the conference league and newcastle united now out of europe altogether. meanwhile, it was celtic who came out on top in the old firm scottish cup final, beating rangers 1—0 at hampden park to seal a league and cup double. norwich city striker adam idah with the winner in the final minute of regular time. sparking scenes of celebration. from myself and the whole team, thank you for watching. we will see you in around half an hour. hello there. the weather has been a bit warmer for many of us today, with more sunshine around as well.

but things are going to change as it gets wetter overnight, leading into a mixture for sunday and bank holiday monday of some sunshine, but also some heavy and thundery showers. it's warm today, though, across the north—west of england, where we had the sunshine. very different picture, though, earlier on in norfolk and here in suffolk with cloud and some rain. and that cloud has been coming in from off the north sea, dampening things down somewhat. we've also got this cloud that's pushing in from the south—west, and this is where we're seeing some rain arriving as well. and that cloud of rain that we've got across south—western areas will continue to work its way northwards and eastwards into more of england and wales overnight. some heavier rain develops in northern england, pushes into southern scotland, too. so, with a lot of cloud overnight and it getting wetter as well, temperatures should be typically 10 or 11 degrees by the morning. and quite a wet start for some of us early on sunday morning — these two areas of rain are pushing their way northwards. and following on from that, we'll get some sunshine, but we'll see those showers developing as well, and those showers could be heavy and thundery.

the greatest risk of some slow—moving, thundery downpours will be across northern england, into the midlands, across to east anglia — risk of some local flooding as well. but with more showers around on sunday, temperatures are going to be lower than today. still could make 19 degrees, perhaps, in south—eastern parts of england. those showers are still around into the evening and they will tend to fade away from england and wales, but we'll keep some wetter weather for longer further north. and here, we've got this area of low pressure that will still be sitting close by into bank holiday monday, and again, we've got a mixture of sunshine and some showers. now, many places may start dry across england and wales and northern ireland, but the cloud will bubble up, there will be a scattering of showers developing. perhaps the heavier ones are going to be across central and northern parts of scotland with some thunder. again, in the sunshine and in the light winds, it will feel pleasant enough. those temperatures are typically going to be 16 or 17 degrees, and those numbers are not really going to change much over the week ahead. we'll keep a south—westerly wind going into the early parts of next week, eventually turning

to more of a north—westerly and cooling things down a bit in the far north—west. but otherwise, it's still going to be very unsettled — more areas of low pressure coming in, bringing showers or longer spells of rain and some sunshine in between.
