WHAT WALKER SAID
He said on Instagram: "Little bit different this one, guys, but I think it was very, very deserved. Seven and a half years, a truly amazing, fantastic, wonderful, and special place that will remain in my heart forever. I feel what we achieved as a team, a club, an organisation, a family - that's not just players and the staff but you as fans - has been absolutely incredible. The ups, the downs, the good and bad times, the treble, the centurions, the formidables, the four in a row, you name it, we've kind of done it. I feel like I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you.
"From Khaldoon,to Txiki and obviously the manager, you've truly left a special place in my heart forever and I will be fully in debt, grateful for what you made me not just experience, but my family and the good times we shared on the pitch and off the pitch, and especially when we won trophies i always enjoyed.
"I just wanted to say thank you to the lads, the group of players that I've been with past and present, it's been an absolute honour. Been very very fortunate to play with some legends of the game but there is still top top legends there at the club, top players at the club and I believe that you can carry on keep achieving what we've achieved over the last number of years. it's kind of not a farewell but a see you soon.
"Thank you once again to the fans, thank you to everyone who was associated with it from 2017 to this present day. My chapter is moving somewhere different. it's a little bit of a different challenge but one I'm really looking forward to and you know it attacking really."

During nearly eight years at the Etihad, he was one of the best right-backs in the world, and his place in footballing history is secure.
WHAT NEXT?
Walker, who spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan, will begin his pre-season training in the coming weeks at Burnley as the 35-year-old tries to keep the newly-promoted Clarets in the Premier League.
