Fiorentina loanee Richards still unsure of Man City future

Micah Richards is unsure of where he will be plying his trade next season.

After falling down the pecking order under Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City, Richards made a season-long loan move to Italian side Fiorentina and the defender had been hopeful of resurrecting his stalling career at Florence.

However, the 26-year old managed to make only 14 starts during his time at Fiorentina and it seems unlikely that he will be turning the loan deal into a permanent one during the end of the season.

With Richards clearly surplus to requirements at City, the right-back is unsure of where he will be playing next season but has insisted that he will be looking for regular minutes on the pitch wherever he ends up.

Richards told talkSPORT: "I've not played enough games out here. I feel I've done well enough to be in the starting XI.

"Obviously being a loan player it's difficult. I've loved every experience though and definitely feel I've improved as a player.

"My last game is on Sunday and I'll sit down and discuss with my family what the best thing is going forward. It will be a team which guarantees me time though."
