Given is behind Joe Hart in the pecking order at Manchester City, but the 35-year-old insists he does not regret joining the club from Newcastle in 2009.
“It was important for me to be part of something big here,” he told Radio Manchester.
“I don’t know what the future holds and whether I will be here or not.
“I would love to be part of it but time will tell.
“I don’t regret coming here. You get a gut feeling and I said when I joined this club I felt like a kid again.
“It was a new club and new surroundings, and maybe you do go a bit stale being at the same club for 12 years.”
“It’s not ideal at the minute because I’m not playing but things do change very quickly in football and if my chance comes I have to be ready to take it,” he continued.
“You look around our changing room and we have some of the best players in the world, and I feel very privileged to be part of that.
“It was a huge decision to come here but it felt right at the time because I was joining Manchester City, who had huge ambitions and I was promised there would be investment in the team.
“The owners have stuck by what they said and brought huge players to the club.
“That was the reason I left Newcastle because I felt like I was joining a club that had a huge chance of doing fantastic things, challenging at the top of the league and challenging for silverware.
“No disrespect to the people at Newcastle, but they were trying to cut back, sell some of their best players and get others in on frees. I felt after 12 years it was the right time for me to have a new challenge.”
