MICAH RICHARDS defended his attire following an awkward exchange with Manchester City star Erling Haaland.
The former defender appeared as a pundit pitchside for Sky Sports during City’s 2-0 win over Chelsea.
After the match Haaland, who scored the opening goal, was interviewed and he could not resist a dig at Richards, questioning his choice of clothing.
Gary Lineker joined in on the ribbing by asking Richards about the incident on the Rest is Football podcast.
Richards hit back, saying: “He questioned my shirt but come on, Jamie Redknapp he had white pants on surely he was the worst dressed.
“Then we had [Daniel] Sturridge in a white suit and his button broke.

“I just thought I went with a classic Prada shirt, I thought I was looking smart, change it up a bit this season.”
Haaland stared at Richards’ shirt as he shook hands with the former City star before giving his interview.
That led Richards to say: “You don’t like this?”
Richards is known for his daring outfits but he decided to poke fun at Redknapp for his look on Sunday.

The retired midfielder was dressed in a shirt and blazer with some cream-coloured trousers.
However, Richards disapproved of his outfit and suggested he had gone for a nautical vibe.
The former Man City star said: “Can I ask what you have come as today? You look like you have just come off a boat.”
Redknapp then replied: “Listen, don’t you start at me, I am the lead singer of this boyband. What you come as?”
Sturridge then joined in by saying, “Yacht baby, yacht.”
To which, Richards joked: “Are you keeping those sunglasses on all day?”
