Dunne: Micah is outstanding

Manchester City skipper Richard Dunne believes that team-mate Micah Richards is already one of the best central defenders on view in the Premier League.
The 19-year-old England international has helped City to three wins out of three this season, having been moved from right-back to partner Dunne at the heart of the Citizens' backline.
Dunne said: "Micah is outstanding. He gets better every game and there really is no limit to what he can do.
"Whoever comes up against him, whatever test he is set, he just blows them away.
"It is hard to remember he is only 19. At the moment I would say he is as good a centre-half as England have.
"In the last couple of years, he got his experience as a right-back. Now he is playing centre-half, which is his favourite position.
"In the last three games he has shown he has pace and power and everything else that you need.
"Nobody can run past him or beat him in the air. He has just been outstanding."
