A FORMER Manchester United looks unrecognisable following his retirement from the beautiful game.<\/p>\n

The former left-back played 81 times for United between 2002 and 2007 after coming through the club's academy.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He scored 11 goals for the club and won the Premier League title in 2003 and 2007.<\/p>\n

He was also part of the Manchester United team that won the FA Cup in 2004 and the League Cup in 2006.<\/p>\n

After leaving United for Sunderland, he then went on to play for Fulham, Aston Villa and Cardiff.<\/p>\n

The defender, 39, has embarked on a very different career path since leaving the game, however.<\/p>\n

Kieran Richardson spoke about his new venture to the Steven Sulley Study podcast.<\/p>\n

Richardson looked very different on the pod compared to his playing days, sporting a long man-bun and beard.<\/p>\n

His identity appeared even further obscured by the designer sunglasses he was wearing.<\/p>\n

Richardson spoke of the need to keep his clients private because of the risk of them becoming targeted by thieves.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cYou have to make sure you trust your dealer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find with my background and who I am, people don't feel I'm going to rump them and run away with \u00a3100,000 because I don't need your \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get a lot of customers from the trust side and that's fine. I have a lot of clients but don't like to tell the big names – I don't want to open that can of worms, these watches are proper assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI'm private. I have massive clients, trust me – it's different if they want to put it out there. <\/p>\n

"I am thinking about people, not the pound notes. Safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richardson also told Sulley about his reasons for hanging up his boots in 2017 and the fact that he supports Arsenal despite coming through United's youth set-up.<\/p>\n

He said: "By the end of my career, it became a job, I fell out of love with it and lost that spark. I still enjoyed it but lost that love," he explained. <\/p>\n

"I watch football so much now – I didn't watch it much as a footballer, I didn't really care.<\/p>\n

"Now as someone not playing, I enjoy being an Arsenal fan, I'm buying a season ticket next season. <\/p>\n

"I don't think there was a conflict of interests.<\/p>\n
