James McAtee details Vincent Kompany Man City coaching sessions ahead of Monday reunion

McAtee is enjoying a brilliant season on-loan from Manchester City, his six goals and three assists helping the Blades into second-place and an automatic promotion spot as it stands.

Kompany has been incredible since taking charge at Turf Moor, the former City captain going from strength to strength after cutting his teeth in the Blues academy during the latter stages of his playing days. During that spell, the Belgian will have coached a young McAtee, who will hope to ruin the party when the pair meet on Monday.
