Micah Richards hits back at ‘disrespectful’ claims after Sky row with Roy Keane

Micah Richards has hit back at claims he 'disrespected' Roy Keane during the Manchester derby on Sunday evening.

Manchester United were embarrassed by their noisy neighbours Manchester City as Keane fumed at his former side's performance – much to the amusement of Richards.

And unseen footage of the former City man joining in with the City fans' chant of 'City' emerged online.

But Independent journalist Miguel Delany hit out at Richards when he tweeted: "Watching Sky.

"Whatever you think of Keane's punditry, thought it was a touch disrespectful for Richards to be in hysterics as Keane makes an impassioned point."

However, Richards hit back at the Tweet: "Deary deary me! When Souness says to me, 'forget everything you’ve just said'.

"Or Neville says to me 'stop ranting! You’re not making sense'.

"I don’t see you saying it’s disrespectful to me so stop this nonsense. It’s really not that deep. We all have respect for each other!!!"

And Neville joined in the act tweeting "Thanks Richards" referencing the defender calling him by his surname rather than his first.

Keane was left fuming at United's lack of effort on Sunday evening.

And City enjoyed over 90 per cent possession in the last 15 minutes of the game as they played United off the park.

It was after Keane's rant at Ralf Rangnick's side that promoted Richards to burst out laughing.
