Sane made the switch to the Bundesliga champions earlier this month in a deal reportedly worth €45 million after spending four years in Manchester.

The 24-year-old was full of kind words for City manager Pep Guardiola and insists the Spaniard was not the reason for his departure.

“I think he improved me a lot. When I came to Manchester City I was 19 and I had just had one full season where I had played here in Germany and there was a lot to improve and in every area," Sane said, as per Goal.

“I can say I improved in every single area with him, doesn’t matter what it is – technically, the positional game, my whole game changed a lot because of the way he works and how he wants me to play. He brought me onto a completely different level.

“Obviously we won a lot in these four years but Bayern Munich also won a lot! I just had a personal feeling for myself.

“It was not anything about Man City or anything else – because we’d now won everything or I’d now lost the hunger or anything [like that]. It was just me personally. I just had a feeling and that’s why I came to this decision.”
