Micah Richards might just have burst back off the scene on Monday night after taking three horrendous penalties at Old Trafford.

The Theatre of Dreams played host to Manchester United's narrow and unconvincing 1-0 win over Wolves, achieved through a second half header from Raphael Varane.

But it was also the location for a lesson in how to not take penalties by Richards. At half-time, the Manchester City legend and Jamie Redknapp took part in a penalty shoot-out for Sky's A League of their Own programme.

Richards wore his full City kit and was met with chants of "You're just a s**t Gary Neville" by the fans who had stayed in their seats.

He trolled the United faithful by revealing an undershirt which had the message, "Why always Meeks?" - a nod to Mario Balotelli's classic Manchester derby celebration in the 6-1 hammering against United back in 2011.

The ex England right-back even busted out the slow and annoying Paul Pogba run-up. But Richards did not show any sort of composure from 12 yards and missed all three of his spot-kicks.

One hit the post and bounce back, while the two other were easy saves for the goalkeeper in between the sticks.

Richards got chants of "What the f**king hell was that?" and to make matters worse, he had to pull on a United shirt as a forfeit for losing.

That same punishment was dished out a couple of months back when he and Jill Scott lost a quiz to Roy Keane and Neville on a special episode of The Overlap.

For those not fortunate enough to see it in the flesh, all the action we will be shown in an upcoming episode of A League of their Own.

Somehow, Richards has taken a worse penalty than what he conjured up last night.

In 2014, City played out a 2-2 draw with Olympiacos in Minneapolis, St Paul and Richards stepped up in a shoot-out.

However, he blazed the ball over in horrific fashion - describing his miss as "the worst penalty you’ve ever seen."
