“My ties with City are extremely strong and will remain so,” Kompany said after Burnley’s fifth-round win over Fleetwood, adding that he had been waiting for his return in a professional capacity to City.

“I know behind the hugs and high fives, Manchester City is a machine that wants to win. It is a place that is so important in my life, I still kick every ball when I watch them. But I represent Burnley now and knew one day I’d go back there in the dug-out.

“I’m the same as they are, what they feel I feel as well. They’ve got a few decent players and if they’re willing to win it’s a difficult place to go to.”

Expanding on his own split loyalties, Kompany tried to focus on Burnley’s Championship promotion push rather than their cup run, with the Clarets 12 points clear at the top and 19 clear of the play-off places with 12 games left to play.

He went on to say: “It’s a double feeling, I’ve got to be honest. My ties are extremely strong with the club and that remains.

“The kids will have a tough decision to make on the day, but it’s also one where you’re looking forward to it. I’ve got a few games now that are more important, which is every Championship game in-between, but in the end, it’ll be a special day.”JAMB Result
