Kompany not at Man City for money

Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany insists he's not at Etihad for the money.

It's hard to argue with the man expected to retain the captaincy at the Etihad - despite Carlos Tevez's ­return - given that his ­girlfriend is a Mancunian.

"When I first came here, I didn't know much about Manchester City," admitted the Belgian defender to the Sunday Mirror.

"It just looked like a good club to be with, but since the new owners came in, it has become incredible. We've been absolutely ­battered as a club and it's because of the money - it is always about the money.

"But the criticism this club seems to attract, just makes me love City even more. I just like Mancunians and Manchester feels like home."
