However, Richards - a former right-back - passionately disagreed with Souness’s tackle the state of affairs. He felt that Wan-Bissaka had inadequate assist from midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who ought to have been serving to his defender.

"He (Wan-Bissaka) is scared, he knows he hasn't got help from Fernandes," argued the previous City and England defender.

But Souness was incandescent at Richards’s argument and bluntly shut it down. He snapped: "Try to forget everything you've just said."

It comes after Richards was filmed seemingly pinning up a person throughout Man Utd’s conflict with Arsenal on Sunday. It was later alleged that Sky Sports colleague Keane had been headbutted by the person.
