Bardsley has made nine Premier League appearances so far this season, and has been a regular at Burnley since joining from Stoke in 2017, but he admits he has some regrets about never quite making it at United.
"Coming from Salford and playing for United meant I was always living in a goldfish bowl," he continued. "I do look at my younger days and think what might have happened if I'd made a few different lifestyle choices.

"There were a couple of fights here and there and I was in Fergie's office one or two times which probably didn't help. Maybe I could have done better at United – or maybe Gary Neville was just too good."
Bardsley's Burnley take on Leicester today hoping to move five points clear of the relegation zone, but Sean Dyche's side are not in the best form having lost their last four games in the Premier League.
