Kompany and Guardiola coy on Belgian’s Man City future

Vincent Kompany admitted his Manchester City future is uncertain after his stunning match-winner against Leicester on Monday night but the 33-year-old is adamant he is not ready to retire.

Kompany ensured City remain on course to retain the Premier League title – win at Brighton next Sunday and it is theirs – with a brilliant 30-yard strike to see off the Foxes 1-0.

But the club captain, whose contract is up in the summer, then shed a few tears as he set out on the end-of-season lap of honour ahead of his team-mates.

“I do not know at this point,” Kompany told Sky Sports when asked about his future.

But asked if he will retire, the Belgian said: “Absolutely not. I am going to play.”

Pep Guardiola was equally non-committal on his future.

“We’ll finish the season and after we are going to talk,” he said. “We are going to take a beer together and decide what is best, especially for the club.”

On his goal, Kompany added: “Everyone was saying don’t shoot but I’ve not come this far in my career to be told when I can and can’t shoot.

“I’ve had 15 years of top-level midfielders telling me not to shoot but I always told them one day I am going to have a shot from outside the box and I’m going to score a goal.”
