Manchester City midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne, has said he likes to join his former club team-mate, Vincent Kompany, at Anderlecht when he leaves.

Kompany returned to Anderlecht in Belgium on a three-year-deal earlier this summer after playing 360 games in 11 years at City.

The duo won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, and three League Cups together at City.

Telling the The Sun, De Bruyne said: “I hope his [Kompany’s] career will be just as amazing at Anderlecht as it was at City. I’ve told him to keep a place in his team for me in a year, or seven, when I’m finished here.

“If he does do that for me I will already have my next destination lined up; my next job.

“I will definitely miss him being around City.”

De Bruyne, arrived at Etihad Stadium from Wolfsburg in 2015, revealed Kompany had a major influence in his decision to come to the Premier League.

“At the time City were trying to sign me from Wolfsburg and Vinny was pushing for me to move to Manchester to play alongside him.

“He would constantly ask me when I was coming. He would say, ‘you need to come’, constantly encouraging me to join City,” he said.
