Veteran midfielder Patrick Vieira believes he should have joined Real Madrid when given the opportunity in 2005.

Vieira left Arsenal for Juventus and then moved on to Inter Milan before signing for Manchester City in this season's winter transfer window.

"It was complicated at Madrid," Vieira said in the Daily Mirror.

"I was suspicious. The lack of recognition for [Claude] Makélélé over there scared me. I was scared it would happen to me.

"But I should have gone there. Today I don't regret the career that I have had but if I could have changed one thing, it would be that. To go to Madrid."
