The ex-Sunderland boss made headlines last week for an exchange with an Ipswich Town fan.

Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards has poked fun at former Sunderland manager Roy Keane following his feud with an Ipswich Town fan last weekend.

The fiery Irishman made headlines when he offered to meet a supporter “in the car park” at Portman Road after a prickly encounter during his punditry duties for Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with the Tractor Boys.

The cheeky jibe came off the back of another quip from Richards. In a post match interview, Liverpool talisman Mo Salah suggested that Carragher would “never” willingly give him a Player of the Match award following recent comments in which the pundit has accused the Egyptian of being “selfish” in his contract stance on Merseyside.

Back in the studio, host David Jones turned to Carragher and asked for his thoughts, to which the former defender joked that he would meet Salah “in the car park”. Richards then added: "Stood next to Roy!”
