The Times highlights suicide bomber Salman Abedi's links to Libya, saying his parents came to the UK as refugees from the Gaddafi regime. Abedi is thought to have returned from the country not long before the attack.
The Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail lead with the decision to raise the UK's terror alert to "critical", which places soldiers on the streets so police can focus their resources on preventing terror attacks.
The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph are among the many newspapers to focus on the fallout of the attack on their back pages, too, saying Manchester United prepare to play in the Europa League final this evening with "heavy hearts".
