Given has lost his position as No.1 at City to England goalkeeper Joe Hart.
“It’s very, very frustrating. I know it doesn’t matter what I do on the training pitch, I won’t be playing at the weekend. If I’m flying around like Clark Kent in goals, I still won’t play on Saturday. That can be demoralising,” he told the Sunday Times.
City refused to let Given leave the club in the summer transfer window.
“The club said I wasn’t going anywhere and that was frustrating,” he continued.
“We’ll see what happens come January and hopefully if the situation’s the same I can go on loan and try and get some games in.
“I’ve never said I want to leave Man City. I believe it’s a big club that in the next couple of years is going to do big things. I want to be part of that but I also want to be playing football.
“I wouldn’t mind where a loan was and wouldn’t rule out abroad if it was a good club and a good team, no disrespect to a club that’s fighting relegation and getting pummelled every week – though at the minute that probably seems better than what I’m doing.”
