(Reuters) - Old friendships will be briefly forgotten at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, as manager Pep Guardiola urged Manchester City to be wary of ex-player Vincent Kompany's Burnley when the teams meet in an FA Cup quarter-final.
Former City captain Kompany played under Guardiola from 2016-19 before leaving to join Anderlecht as player-manager.
Earlier this month, Guardiola heaped praise on Burnley and said that Kompany was destined to one day succeed him as City manager. "I'm more than convinced he's going to come back to . Everybody knows he is an important, incredible figure here. He is one of the biggest legends I have had." Guardiola said that he and his side would focus all their attention on Burnley once they were aware of who awaits them in Europe.
