Watch former Joe Hart speak about Pep Guardiola's comments over his "regret" at selling the goalkeeper when he first arrived as Manchester City manager.
After his arrival in 2016, Guardiola told the former England international that he was surplus to requirements after deeming he would not be a good fit for his style of play.
Last week, just days before his departure, Guardiola reflected: "There is one regret that I have deep inside for many years, that I didn't give a chance to Joe Hart to be with me to prove himself how good a keeper he was."
Hart told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club: "I was surprised how I felt because I was actually quite emotional to myself.

"It was very nice of him to say it and I think he is genuine in what he said because he didn't need to say it, it wasn't a specific question on it.
"That was 10 years ago, we shook hands, we had a difference of opinion and he ultimately won and went on to do brilliant thinks at Man City.
"The comments made me feel I was right to believe in myself and say I deserved a chance. That was the only thing I really took from it.
"I get on with Pep, always have, but it was still nice to hear from a personal point of view after getting lost on loan for a few years after that."
