MANCHESTER CITY captain Vincent Kompany hugs his Manchester United-supporting father-in-law while celebrating winning the Premier League title.
The £120,000-a-week defender was in wife Carla’s grandmother’s modest-looking home in Irlam, Mancs, to see United suffer a shock 1-0 defeat to rock bottom West Brom.
Kompany jumps up in celebration as the full-time whistle is blown at Old Trafford, with the whole family crowded around the television.
But one figure shown acting solemnly during it all is Carla’s old man.
Proudly wearing his retro Man Utd shirt, he slowly embraces his son-in-law moments after his third top-flight crown in seven seasons is confirmed.
Kompany, 32, then goes on to FaceTime team-mates Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker.

It is then that Carla’s nan is heard asking: “Do they want to come round?”
A male voice is then heard off camera saying: “Are they coming round for a Vardy moment?”

One wrote: “I’m not a City fan but congratulations on not only winning the league, but showing your common touch by celebrating in the pub and in a terraced house with the in-laws – class. Well done Vincent.”
Another posted: “I love how Vincent Kompany was just watching the game from a regular house in Manchester and not some swanky place.”
Kompany was later seen at the Railway pub in Hale leading a rowdy party with jubilant fans.
He roared in front of them.
“If there’s kids in the room, cover their ears or send them out.
“It’s been a f***ing long journey, especially if you have been a blue for more than 40 years in your heart.
“But tonight, we won it again! So let’s celebrate together.”
