Micah Richards has called on people to not put pressure on Manchester City's new signing Ruben Dias.
The 23-year-old made his debut against Leeds after signing from Benfica for around £65m.
And during Sky Sports' pre-match coverage of Manchester City's trip to Elland Road, Richards slammed quotes stating that Dias will replace club legend Vincent Kompany.
He said: 'I saw some quotes saying he (Dias) was going to replace Vincent Kompany, which I thought were absolutely ridiculous, because they're putting too much pressure on the boy's shoulders and he's just 23.
