Manchester City defender Micah Richards is on the verge of quitting the club where he has been throughout his professional career due to lack of games. Richards is on the periphery of the first-team. However, City have been keeping him up until now primarily to fill the quota of homegrown players. The impressive performances of Pablo Zabaleta at right back have limited Richards to only a handful of appearances this campaign. His contract runs out in 12 months, but City may decide to sell him in the summer in order to recover some transfer fee.

Manchester city defender Micah Richards says that he was happy to get on the scoresheet against Stoke city. City’s England defender fired the Blues ahead in style only for Matthew Etherington to snatch an equaliser in time added on to prevent a second successive away win for Roberto Mancini’s men.

Micah Richards told City’s website: “I thought we defended well, so to concede in the last few minutes was devastating. We knew we’d face a lot of balls in the air and we dealt with them.

Manchester City defender Micah Richards says that he has got his best form under the stewardship of Italian manager Roberto Mancini. ”Roberto Mancini has given me a lot of confidence. I’m back in the England team and hopefully I can continue to play well. I was chuffed to be captain against Juventus – I was honoured that he chose me.”

A win for City against Everton tonight would see the club go top of the table for Christmas, and Richards believes the club are showing huge signs of improvement as they enter their second with Mancini at the helm.

Chelsea are interested in signing Manchester city defender Micah Richards this transfer window. The 22-year-old full-back recently admitted that he could make a move away from the Eastlands outfit in search of regular football, despite making 12 Premier League appearances for the club so far this season.

Now The Mirror claims that the defender held a meeting with manager Roberto Mancini on Thursday, during the course of which he put forward his grievances to the gaffer.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly monitoring the current situation of Micah Richards at Manchester city. The 22-year-old England international has only started ten games for Roberto Mancini’s side in the Premier League this season and it is understood the defender is becoming frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities, mainly down to the good form of Pablo Zabaleta.

Redknapp has been a keen admirer of Micah Richards for a while and it is believed the manager will be keeping an eye on the situation before making a decision on whether to bid for the out-of-favour defender.

Manchester City’s defender Micah Richards was speechless about Rooney’s goal. The game was locked at 1-1 until the former Everton hitman produced an acrobatic overhead kick to put his side into the lead, and the goal turned out to be the winner.

And Micah Richards also believes that goals like these are the reason why the Red Devils agreed to hand the player a heavy pay packet when he threatened to leave the club earlier in the season.

Manchester United are apparently interested in signing Micah Richard, who is unhappy at Manchester City.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is now being linked with a move for Micah Richard after reports from City claim that they are keen to bring in a new first team right back.

Manchester City have been heavily linked with Barcelona Right back Daniel Alvez to replace Richard in the squad.

Micah Richards has returned to training with Man City in a bid to be fit for Saturday’s FA Cup showdown with Manchester United.

City defender Richards, 22, was carried off with a hamstring injury for England U-21s against Denmark last month.

And he has not played for Roberto Mancini’s side since after missing two games.

His absence coincided with City losing 3-0 at Liverpool on Monday night when rookie Dedryck Boyata deputised at right-back.

But Richards has been back in training with City this week ahead of the weekend’s semi-final clash with United at Wembley.

Manchester City defender Micah Richards has been forced to withdraw from the England Under-21 squad for this summer’s European Championship finals.

The powerful stopper has pulled out of manager Stuart Pearce’s party for the tournament in Denmark next month due to a hamstring injury.

Richards’ absence leaves Pearce with just 22 players at his disposal and the Young Lions boss will name a replacement shortly.

The 22-year-old was due to captain England and it means Pearce will have to appoint a new skipper.
