Scott Arfield admits he was dazzled by Man City's old training facilities

Burnley borrowed City's former Carrington training ground last month when their own pitches were frozen and Manuel Pellegrini's squad was comfortably settled into their new £200million training complex next to the Etihad Stadium.

It was sensational in terms of the facilities. It makes you want to strive to play somewhere like that

Arfield said: "I can't really imagine what the new one must be like because the old one was sensational. We walked in there open-mouthed. Bury have got it now - they've done unbelievably to get that.

"It was sensational in terms of the facilities. It makes you want to strive to play somewhere like that."

But he added: "It's not really my bag to be over-awed by a player, or a club or an occasion. The calibre of player you come up against is fantastic but you can't let the name on the back of the shirt get the better of you before you've played. If you do then you'll come unstuck."
