Brazilian midfielder Kaka has insisted his decision to join Real Madrid was the correct one and he has reiterated his belief that a move to Eastlands would have been the wrong one.

Kaka has failed to live up to his billing in Spain so far and earlier this week former Milan team-mate Gennaro Gattuso also claimed the Brazilian is struggling for form. The midfield general believes that this was down to a change in training methods.

“As far as I can tell, there is very little physical fitness work in Madrid and someone like Kaka, who is used to training a great deal, is struggling,'' Gattuso told Corriere della Sera.

Manchester City tried valiantly to persuade the former AC Milan maestro to sign for the club in a deal which would have made him the highest player in the world.

However, the talented 27-year-old opted to move to the Bernabeu for a reported fee of £56million last summer instead

With City’s lavish spending in the summer soaring to over £120 million they will be desperate to establish themselves as a potent force in the Premier league before conquering Europe.

But, speaking ahead of Brazil's international friendly with England in Doha on Saturday the Los Blancos playmaker has re-affirmed his decision to withdraw from the move.

"Do I regret not moving to Manchester City? No. I am happy with what I have chosen in my life.

"I've spoken a lot to Robinho and he is very happy there and Manchester City have bought a lot of quality players,'' he said.

"But now I am with Real Madrid and very happy with the choice I made. I have no regrets with the decision I made."
