Keane’s rage after United were thrashed 4-1 by Manchester City led to fits of laughter from Richards.

The ex-England right-back continually cracked up as Keane showed his displeasure at United’s performance.

But some believed Richards’ laughter at Keane’s expense verged on ‘disrespectful’.

Richards wrote on Twitter: “Deary deary me! When [Graeme] Souness says to me: ‘Forget everything you’ve just said’, or [Gary] 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.”

Richards went on to suggest him laughing at Keane is no real issue, as he insisted all of the pundits in the studio value each other’s opinions.

He added: “It’s really not that deep. We all have respect for each other!!!”

Neville though could only see the funny side to Richards’ response as he simply replied: “Thanks Richards,” followed up with a laughing emoji.

Micah’s mirth came after Keane’s explosive rant at United’s players for a toothless showing.

He seethed: “There were players there and we’re watching it live, and I’m looking at them getting really frustrated watching it.

“I forgive mistakes, but you’ve got to run back. There’s players, five or six players should never play for United again. Just shameful.

Keane fumed at the United squad after the Manchester derby defeat

“Shameful that you can’t run back and you can’t put your body on the line.”

Keane then added: “Who’s running that dressing room? These guys seem more bothered about, ‘How am I looking? How’s my hair looking? Are my boots nice?’

“You leave your ego at the door when you play for Man Utd.”
