Friday's top sporting photos

Glamorous women parading their headgear at Ascot, tennis players trying to get to grips with grass, and cricketers exerting themselves over a full 20 overs.

It all tells us we're in the middle of flaming June.

And with so many different sporting angles to take as the height of summer approaches, what is the big news on the back pages?

Yes, Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson are having another tiff.

There's clearly no off-season for these boys as the Arsenal boss takes the chance to stick the boot in following David Beckham's move to Madrid.

THE HEADLINES Daily Telegraph: Tears flow as Fallon hits gold on Dinos The Sun: Waster - Fergie's bust-up with Beckham means United lost millions, says Wenger The Guardian: Premiership set for return to free TV The Independent: TV deal to cause kick-off time turmoil The Times: Kewell shuns United over Ferguson factor Daily Express: Leeds swap shop - Reid wants Wiltord Daily Star: Now Real want Vieira Daily Mirror: Fergie blew Becks move Daily Mail: I'm really sorry - Becks does a U-turn

The Frenchman provokes an unusual consensus across The Sun and the Daily Mirror, both of which lead with his assertion that United sold the England skipper on the cheap.

And Fergie is sure to go redder than ever on his sunbed when he reads Wenger's prediction that Beckham's departure means United's "great" era is over.

The Daily Mail is the other paper to go big on Beckham again, claiming the player retracted a "dig" at United's recent behaviour that he supposedly made while in Japan.

Elsewhere, the Daily Star takes a brave stab at predicting the next big transfer with the headline "Now Real Want Vieira".

The story itself is rather less dramatic, as it suggests the Spanish giants will try to prevent the Frenchman signing a new contract at Arsenal at the end of next season.

A new deal for Premiership broadcasting rights provokes much discussion in the broadsheets.

The Guardian focuses on the possible return of live games to free television, while The Independent highlights the likelihood of live matches on Saturday afternoons.

Away from football, Greg Rusedski is the man in the spotlight in the days leading up to Wimbledon as his impressive comeback continues at Nottingham.

Meanwhile, The Times reveals Tim Henman may not know his first-round opponent at Wimbledon until the weekend as Alex Corretja decides whether to stay in Spain with his wife and new-born daughter.
