Former Liverpool FC defender Daniel Agger hinted that a lack of frankness on the part of Reds boss Brendan Rodgers led to his exit.

The Danish international went on to spend eight seasons at Anfield after moving from Brondby in 2006, making 175 top-flight appearances and was even selected as vice-captain during the 2013/14 season, but apparently his relationship with the manager turned cold during his final year in Merseyside.

"Let me put it this way, the manager and me were perhaps not on the same page in all of last season. For most of last season at least," said the 29-year-old.

"There was much between us, and for me it was just enough. I felt that he didn't appreciate the things I could contribute. When I feel that, then it's time to move on."

"Where me and him maybe went wrong from each other, was that I'm very direct."

"I say things as they are, and so I also expect that people are the same to me. Maybe it's wrong to expect it sometimes."

Agger has moved back to his boyhood club during the previous transfer window.
