Career mode mindset: Vincent Kompany’s dream Bayern Munich XI revealed

Most young, upcoming managers use unconventional methods like Football Manager to develop their skills. Vincent Kompany is not exactly young or an up-and-comer or even uses FM, but his dream Bayern Munich team is something interesting (as reported by Mirror UK):

It’s a standard 4-2-3-1 with Manuel Neuer in goal; Alphonso Davies, Matthijs de Ligt, Kim Min-jae, and Joshua Kimmich in defense; Adam Wharton (from Crystal Palace) and Leon Goretzka as the midfield pivot; and Leroy Sané, Jamal Musiala, and Manchester City winger Jack Grealish as the three attackers behind Harry Kane up top.

Wharton is an interesting name because he’s someone whom Bayern are linked to, but nine-figure Grealish? That’s a bit of a stretch. Grealish isn’t exactly someone that Bayern needs, and the Bavarians have other places that they need to address first before getting a winger. Heck, they already got one (Bryan Zaragoza) who’s itching to play games.

Bayern have the cash to sign anyone, but they must use it wisely.
