How Micah Richards got revenge over Rio Ferdinand with 'petty' Man City and Man United joke

Micah Richards has opened up on the intense rivalry that exists between Manchester City and Manchester United players.

The former defender spent almost a decade in City's first team and was part of the side that famously won their maiden Premier League title in 2011/12 - at United's expense on the final day of an absorbing season.

That would add fuel to the flames of what was already a bitter cross-city rivalry between the two clubs. Now retired, Richards has spoken of the level of dislike players on either side had for each other - and how he got one over former United centre-back Rio Ferdinand.

Speaking on the latest episode of Sky's A League of Their Own - where he is a regular team member - Richards took a tongue-in-cheek trip down memory lane.

"I didn't really like any United player," he said. "But (especially) it was Rio Ferdinand. We was in a (night)club. He came rolling through with his Premier League medal on and I was just like come on, you're better than that.

"But I was just so petty that then when we won the league (in 2012) I did the exact same thing! And Rio was there as well - I was like f** you!"
