Emiliano Insua admits he was too hasty leaving Liverpool.

Insua believes he made a mistake leaving Liverpool after being told he would not be a regular by Roy Hodgson in 2010.

With fellow left-backs Paul Konchesky brought in and Fabio Aurelio re-signed, the Argentine, then only 21, was told his opportunities would be limited.

And he admits his decision to move to Galatasaray on loan for the season was an error.

“Maybe that was a mistake for me to leave," said Insua.

"I was very young. Roy Hodgson in that moment told me that I will not play regularly, so I left the club. If this situation would come again for me, I would stay and fight for my place. I was in a great situation with Liverpool."
