Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng has no regrets over his time at Manchester City.
Since leaving City, Boateng has won the Champions League and World Cup.
He told the Mail on Sunday: "I was young. My girlfriend was pregnant, we wanted her to stay in Germany and have the baby there. Then I started with a knee injury. The coach promised that I'd play central defence - but I played right, I played left.
"Then I had another knee injury, I had an operation also, so I was not happy with the whole situation. And then Bayern came.
"But I learned so much, even in training, from the players there. That's why I made the move - Vieira, Kompany, (Carlos) Tevez, (Emmanuel) Adebayor at this time - they are all great players. So I learned a lot about myself also and they gave me good advice and that's why I say I'm not sad that I went to Manchester."
