Micah Richards Wants 'Showdown' Talks With Manchester Boss Mark Hughes - Report
Manchester City defender Micah Richards will demand some answers from manager Mark Hughes this week, and seek showdown talks to establish whether or not he has an Eastlands future.
There have been reports in the past that Hughes and Richards have clashed, with the manager understood to be unimpressed with the player's attitude at times.
The defender may well decide to move if he does not receive the assurances he craves which could interest both Chelsea and Manchester United who have been interested in him in the past.
However, Sunday Mirror reports that Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill will be the man to pounce should Richards decide there is no future for him at Eastlands.
