Also a road linking the first team training area and the youth team training center has also been named “Vincent Kompany Crescent” in another tribute to the Belgian center back.
Kompany spent 11 years at Man City, winning 10 major trophies as he was one of the first signings made by the then new owners from Abu Dhabi.
He left Man City at the end of last season, rejoining his boyhood club Anderlecht in a player-manager role.
Today we unveiled a lasting tribute to @VincentKompany in recognition of his unrivalled achievements and contribution to the Club.
