Man City captain Kompany: I feel sorry for Man Utd fans

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany admits Manchester United are struggling so much that he feels sorry for their fans!

Monday's 3-0 loss to Tottenham — the heaviest home defeat manager Jose Mourinho has suffered in his near-20 years as a manager — means the Red Devils are off to their worst league start since 1992.

Asked how much the ­balance of power in ­Manchester has shifted, ­Kompany said: “I'll give the ­neighbours a little bit, I'll have compassion for them, ­because Sir Alex Ferguson was such a big personality. You cannot take somebody like that out of a club and think that everything is going to continue like before. You ­always need a ­transition ­period.

Manchester United is still ­dealing with a post­-Ferguson era. So they will get that side of me, feeling ­compassionate. But any time it takes them to get back up, we need to take advantage of it."
