Micah Richards and Gary Neville in HEATED row over Manchester United's manager role after derby defeat, with former City star questioning why Ralf Rangnick was hired and insisting they should have gone for Antonio Conte

Gary Neville and Micah Richards were embroiled in a blazing argument over Ralf Rangnick's role at Manchester United after their derby defeat against Manchester City.

United lost 4-1 and were comprehensively outplayed by their bitter rivals at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday evening, with interim boss Rangnick's tactics questioned by Neville himself.

Richards insisted he should not have been appointed manager, raising his voice and gesticulating wildly, while Neville put his head in his hands and told his fellow pundit to 'stop ranting' as tempers boiled over in a heated row.
