MICAH RICHARDS has revealed the hilarious Christmas gift he would buy Manchester United icon Gary Neville.
The former Manchester City star made the quip during a festive chat with Roy Keane who lifted the lid on what Nev was like in the dressing room.
Keane played with Neville for years at Old Trafford while Richards has only recently become a colleague of the ex-right-back through their punditry work at Sky.
And in a chat for Sky’s Micah Richards and Roy Keane Driving Home for Christmas, the ex-City and Aston Villa ace told the Irishman what he’d buy Nev.
He said: “I know what I’d get him. A mask so he shuts up.”
Keane interrupted and said: “Ahhhh, Gary’s alright.”
Richards was quick to clarify his statement and replied: “Oh no, he’s class Gary but why does he talk so much?
“He’s got an opinion about everything.”

Keane defended his old team-mate again and had a cheeky dig at former right-back Richards when he said: “Remember when I played with Gary, he was very quiet.
“He knew his role in the dressing room, and that was to keep quiet.
“He was a full-back, they don’t say much in the dressing room. You’ve got to know your place.”

Fans were loving the exchange in the comments and one wrote: “The only problem I have with this is that episodes aren’t an hour long.
“Could watch Keane all day and big Micah just brings the best out of him, brilliant.”
