Former Manchester City winger Javairo Dilrosun has claimed the club treat their players like "merchandise".

Dilrosun left City in the summer for Hertha Berlin in order to attain more first-team opportunities.

"City are like a company," he told ELF Voetbal . "Players are their merchandise.

"I didn't really speak much face to face with Guardiola, but I've learned so much from just watching him.

"He gave some great advice that made me a better player - details about my first touch for example.

"And he's a very capable of explaining his tactics to his players."
