Posting on X, formerly, Twitter, he said: “Vincent Kompany spoke to Manuel Benson, convincing him to stay a Claret (at least) until the rest of the season. Player’s totally focused and will be involved to maintain Burnley FC in Premier League. After Southampton FC, Leeds United now OFF.”

Benson was instrumental as Burnley escaped the Championship last season, scoring 12 goals and registering three assists as the Clarets lifted the title.
