The 25-year-old midfielder has endured an inconsistent campaign for Roberto Mancini's side this season, admitting that his own individual form simply hasn't been good enough
Samir Nasri insists has no regrets over leaving Arsenal for Manchester City last summer, even though he has lamented his departure from mentor Arsene Wenger.Roberto Mancini revealed his frustration at the midfielder's inconsistent performances this season, after the France international was instrumental in the club's 4-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday, going on to win the man-of-the-match award for his excellent display.
Nevertheless, the 25-year-old maintains that he has no remorse over the nature of his exit, but rather his disappointment at not being able to work with Wenger for a longer period of time, also admitting that despite Mancini's recent criticism, he understands his own form hasn't quite been up to scratch this season.
"Arsene Wenger is the greatest coach I have worked with. I only regret not having more discussions with Arsene Wenger when I left [for Manchester City]," Nasri told beIN Sport.
"I do not have regrets. I do not regret joining Manchester City. I want to play and perform. My departure from Arsenal is purely for sporting reasons."
"I am aware that I do not realise a good season. There are many reasons. But when Mancini said that I'm training at 50% this is not true.
"I felt comfortable against Newcastle. It's been a time that I feel good."
