Manchester City defender Micah Richards admits he loves their rivalry with Manchester United.

The two clubs will face-off in two weeks time.

Richards told the Guardian: "I love it, yeah. Ever since I made my debut United have always been in our ears. We've always been under United.

"And now, on paper we're maybe not as good a team as United yet but individually we're as good as them. I still think we'll need another year or two to get the experience. They've been doing it for years."
