Micah Richards launches staunch defence of Cristiano Ronaldo after Chris Sutton claimed Wolves striker is a BETTER forward than the Manchester United superstar

Micah Richards fought Cristiano Ronaldo's corner after Chris Sutton claimed that Wolves forward Raul Jimenez is a better striker than the Manchester United superstar,

Ronaldo, 36, was not given an inch during a quiet outing on Monday night as Wolves ran out 1-0 winners at Old Trafford, with Conor Coady, Romain Saiss and Max Kilman stifling the Portuguese.

At the other end of the pitch, Mexican star Jimenez led the line well for the visitors, offering endless running while linking up well with the lively Daniel Podence and Francisco Trincao.
