Michah Richards has responded to an accusation that suggested he was disrespectful towards Roy Keane on Sunday.
Manchester City beat Manchester United 4-1 in the Manchester derby at the weekend and Richards and Keane were on punditry duty for Sky Sports at the Etihad. After the match, it didn't take long for Keane to pick apart United's display with a passionate rant.
The United legend questioned the desire of his former club's players and was praised on social media by supporters for his trademark honesty, but others claimed Richards had actually 'disrespected' Keane by looking amused by his colleague's rant. While Keane is highly unlikely to have been bothered, Richards responded to claims that suggested he was disrespectful on Monday.

"Deary deary me," Richards wrote, in response to the accusation.
"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!!!"
Keane could not hide his anger at the manner of the defeat and the Manchester Evening News has the full rant here.
