Kieran Trippier admits he was disappointed with his exit from Tottenham Hotspur.
The fullback was sold to Atletico Madrid this summer after a poor 2018/19 campaign.
"The whole season I had no excuses," Trippier said. "My (bad) performances started after Christmas because I thought I had an okay first-half of the season if I'm honest, but then it was just like a car crash. It just went 'bang', things weren't going my way. I wasn't playing well.
"I heard rumours about them selling me and it's not nice but it happens and it's football.
"[Mauricio Pochettino] didn't say he wanted to move me on. I tried to speak to the chairman about it.
"I spoke to the manager about his plans and I didn't get a yes and I didn't get a no. So you get the impression.
"It's disappointing. I gave everything for the club and I wanted to stay, I had another couple of years left, but everything happens for a reason.
"Me and the manager didn't leave on bad terms, he has done a lot for me and I respect him highly. It is just a few things, I tried to speak to the chairman I just didn't really get an answer."
