Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Vincent Kompany could be announced as Burnley manager today.

The former Manchester City defender, 36, is keen to replace Sean Dyche and return to the North West, where his wife Carla’s family are from.

He had revived Anderlecht’s fortunes since returning to his boyhood club, leading them to third place this season.

There could be an announcement over the weekend, or early next week, three weeks after the Clarets’ relegation from the Premier League, and eight weeks from the departure of Sean Dyche.

According to reports in his native Belgium as relayed by the Mirror, Burnley are set to confirm the appointment of Vincent Kompany early this week and he could even be unveiled on Monday.

The delay has been down to work permit issues for the Belgian and some of his backroom staff – Kompany could be reunited with set piece coach and video analyst Eliot Tybebo, personal assistant Rodyse Munienge, coach Floribert Ngalula and physical coach Bram Geers, who were all close to the head coach in Brussels.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from Man City supporters.
