The 2007 Asian Player of the Year arrived at City just before Christmas and was unable to agree terms with City though, as Burridge claimed, his behaviour didn’t endear himself to the Premier League club.
"Al Qahtani flew into Manchester with a huge entourage,” Burridge, who now works in the middle-east, told the Daily Mirror.
"He arrived at the City training ground like a prince and when he took part in his first training session, the members of his entourage lined the length of the touchline cheering his every move.
"When he got the ball, Richard Dunne smacked Al Qahtani with a good old-fashioned 'welcome' tackle, and he fell to the ground like a bag of chips.
"He started rolling around, squealing, and had to be carried off the field. Then he started crying."
‘The Sniper’ is still with Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.
