-

 The newly-promoted Premier League side have made another signing.

They have announced the signing of full-back Omar Richards from Bayern Munich on a four-year deal.

The former England Under-21s defender moves for a reported £10m.

Richards, 24, joined Bayern in 2021 from Reading, making 17 appearances and helping them to a 32nd Bundesliga title.

Richards played 104 times for the Royals before heading to Germany and earned one England Under-21s cap in 2019.

He becomes Forest's fifth summer signing after Dean Henderson, Moussa Niakhate, Giuilian Biancone and Taiwo Awoniyi.

Richards told the Forest website: “I’m thrilled to return to England by joining Nottingham Forest at such an exciting time. The club has enjoyed an incredible last few months and there’s great ambitions for the Premier League return.

“I’ve played against Forest in the past and they get such great backing from their fans, whilst the City Ground is an amazing place that I can now call home. I can’t wait to join up with the squad this week and begin preparations for the new season.”

One Twitter user was clearly delighted with the signing: "I now share optimism about Forests chances of giving it a go this season. Clear recruitment strategy. First choices attained in time for pre-season. Fair play."

Another added: "Welcome to the club."

The tweet below translates as: " Omar Richards dazzled in the Championship with Reading and made a very high jump to Bayern that left him without minutes. A side with a lot of offensive vocation, great ability to overcome duels and give depth. Ideal player for Cooper and suitable destination for Richards.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager.
