Micah Richards told Gary Neville he was a better player than him, the Manchester United legendโs reaction said it all.
The duo filmed a special episode of โThe Overlapโ ahead of FA Cup final at Wembley between the Manchester giants.
When discussing a combined XI made from the teams down the years, the right back position sparked the debate.
Micah Richards said,
โLetโs get the elephant out of the room.โ
โI was a better player than you, come on.โ
Neville nearly spat his tea out at the comment.
