Manchester City defender Micah Richards admits its been a frustrating season for him.

Rivals Manchester United look set to reclaim the Premier League crown and there has been little Richards could do about it, only returning from long-term injury in Wednesday's win over Wigan.

"It has definitely been frustrating, especially when you see United top of the league," said Richards.

"After last season I thought we would have kicked on and maybe been a bit better, maybe retained it. We haven't done that but I think next season we will regroup and hopefully we will get it back."
