Burnley Manager and former Man City captain says Man Utd are just one defeat from having a crisis. Man Utd have faced three defeats in a row and currently sit in 13th with six points in the Premier League so far. They face newly promoted Burnley Saturday evening.
“I have been at a big club before,” said former Manchester City central defender and captain Kompany. I know how it is when you lose a couple of games – the pressure can mount.
“When in a top club you are always one loss away from a crisis. That doesn’t just have to be United – it is the same in every top club. You always need time to adapt and improve – not just for Erik ten Hag but all of us. One thing this manager has demonstrated is that he is extremely capable. There is no doubting that.”
“We are not busy with what has happened in the other team. It doesn’t concern us,” said Kompany.
“I have to manage the results and performance of my team. We are a calm camp. We are in a place where we feel that something really exciting is ahead of us.
“We have to build on that momentum. What is happening elsewhere is not our concern. I have to prepare our team to play the best possible Manchester United team, playing the way we know they can play.
“If they turn up in any other way, we will see. But I will prepare my team to face United when they are playing at their best.”
Kompany was appointed Burnley coach last season after they were relegated from the Premier League. He led them to a Championship title meaning they weren’t out of Premier League action for very long.
His side have had a tricky start to the season with just one point in four games. They do have a game in hand due to a match V Luton that was postponed.
They welcome Man Utd to Turf Moor on Saturday night. It’s an unusual 8pm kick-off which you can watch on TNT Sports. The weather broadcast predicts a cloudy evening in Burnley but Kompany will be hoping for thunderstorm that will strike Man Utd into crisis mode.
