Micah Richards pointed out that Manchester This united unit is lacking identity. After the unbeaten game that was defeated by Leicester City 4-2 on Saturday.

The result left Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side unable to win three successive Premier League games in a row and began to be scored by the top teams

. Richards told Match of the Day:

“With Manchester United in the past. They are a winged team to feed the ball to the strikers in the penalty area. The midfielders will fill in the penalty area as well.

Micah Richards believes Manchester United are “a bit frightened” of Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City ahead of this weekend’s Barclays Premier League clash at Old Trafford.

City are two points ahead of United at the top of the table and will play their first derby game at the home of the reigning champions in the absence of the banner that has taunted them for not winning a trophy in 35 years.

Richards, a relative veteran of the fixture having played in 10 derbies. Insists City are ready to shrug off their noisy neighbours tag and build on their FA Cup success from last season.

“But now it looks like they are trying to make all the players happy. Have you seen who they are? Ronaldo, Pogba, Fernandes, these players should shine.

“Sancho comes in, Rashford comes on and scores goals, Martial only scored two weeks ago, this team is a talent. But they didn’t know what they were doing with the talent they had

. He will drop famous players. Or focus on the basics by finding a plan for this team to play together.”
