Vincent Kompany expects Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer to make his life 'easier' as coach denies issues with Bayern Munich legends

Kompany has batted away any suggestions that the veteran duo will not give their all for Bayern under his management this season. Muller was said to be one of the Bayern players who pushed for Thomas Tuchel to stay at the club, but the Belgian has no qualms.

Bayern went trophyless last season as Bayer Leverkusen stormed to the Bundesliga title. Under Kompany, though, they will aim to reclaim the trophy that they had made their own over the last decade.

Asked about Muller and Neuer, Kompany replied: "I have very clear ideas about what I want to achieve. It's also exciting for players like Manuel and Thomas. It's much easier to work with players like that. They have become legends because they always want to get better."

Bayern are continuing to prepare for the new season. They will face back-to-back friendlies against Tottenham in the next week.
