Kompany confident of sticking around at Man City after accepting 'Mr Grumpy' role

A long-serving skipper at the Etihad Stadium believes he has plenty to offer, with there an acceptance on his part that he will see fewer minutes

Vincent Kompany appears to be planning for the future at Manchester City, with the long-serving defender prepared to accept that he will be seeing less playing time.

Having been at the Etihad Stadium since 2008, it has been suggested that a decade of loyal service could soon be brought to a close.

Kompany remains under contract until 2019, but Pep Guardiola has invested heavily in alternative centre-half options such as John Stones, Nicolas Otamendi and Aymeric Laporte.
