Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany is happy playing at centre-half.

The Belgian has returned to the back four since coming back from injury, having played much of his City career in midfield.

"I have always said that it doesn't make a difference to me whether I play in midfield or defence," declared Kompany to mcfc.co.uk.

"If I stay in the team as a central defender then that is good. I am a proper centre half as much as I am a proper midfielder it really doesn't make a difference to me. Different coaches have different ideas where I should play and that is fine by me.

"Hopefully if the manager sees me as a long term central defender then I can grow to be a top, top player in that position."
