Souness has also done radio work for talkSPORT this season.
The Scot recently told the broadcaster that Cristiano Ronaldo should have started for Manchester United against City earlier this month.
And earlier this season, while working for the radio station, Souness found himself in a war of words with Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings.
After defending Steven Gerrard's decision to strip Mings of the Villa captaincy in his newspaper column, the England centre-back called the article "weird" and "pointless".
Souness then threw the ball back into Mings' court, inviting him to have it out on air: "Anytime, anytime."
