Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has backed Kompany to become manager at the Etihad Stadium in the future. The 36-year-old, who spent 11 years with the Premier League side, has worked wonders at Burnley this season.

Guardiola has said, as per ESPN: “I think his destiny to be the manager of Manchester City is already written in the stars. It’s going to happen, I don’t know when but it is going to happen.

“Sooner or later he will be the manager of Manchester City, when, I don’t know. But I am pretty sure. It is my feeling, maybe I am wrong. He has the attributes: work ethic, knowledge of the game, well respected, experienced.”

Defender eyed

Coventry City ‘want’ to sign Burnley defender Luke McNally on a permanent basis this summer, according to The Sun, and his price tag is said to be around £2million. The centre-back, who made the move to Turf Moor last year from Oxford United, struggled for game time during the first-half of this season and was allowed to leave on loan in January.

The 23-year-old has since been a hit with the Sky Blues and is enjoying plenty of minutes under Mark Robins. He has made eight league appearances since his temporary switch.
