A lot of Manchester City supporters have been reacting on social media to leaked details of the statues of Vincent Kompany and David Silva while under construction.
Both players have been instrumental figures during the golden era City have enjoyed since their takeover by Sheikh Mansour in 2008.
Kompany left the Premier League side in 2019, having won the Premier League title four times, along with two FA Cups and four EFL Cups.
While Silva, who made 436 appearances for City, was widely regarded as one of the club’s greatest-ever players.
Sculptures of Vincent Kompany and David Silva will be installed outside Manchester City’s Etihad stadium ahead of this weekend’s Premier League game against Arsenal, the club said.
The statues of the pair have been made by award-winning, American-based Scottish sculptor Andy Scott, who was only able to meet Kompany and Silva virtually due to the pandemic.
Ahead of the official unveiling, two photos of the statues have been leaked on social media on Monday morning.
As shared by Twitter user @djwskyblu via City Xtra, Vincent Kompany and David Silva’s statues have been pictured while under construction and the pair will be captured in steel by the aforementioned acclaimed sculptor, Andy Scott.
Here’s what some fans had to say on Twitter about this leaked statues of Kompany and David Silva.

Some people in these comments have reading difficulties. It literally states that these pictures were taken whilst under construction. So it’s not the finished product
