Alan Shearer leaves Gary Lineker and Micah Richards in stitches with hilarious response after being asked to choose between Man United and Sunderland

Alan Shearer delivered a hilarious response when asked to pick between Manchester United and Sunderland, leaving Gary Lineker and Micah Richards in stitches.

Newcastle legend Shearer became the Premier League's all-time record goalscorer during his spell on Tyneside and also made the history books at club level.

Having netted 206 times in 405 games for the Magpies over the course of a decade, Shearer's heroics will not have gone down well at United and on Tyneside.

Sunderland, of course, are Newcastle's fiercest rivals while the Red Devils tried - and failed - to sign Shearer twice.
