The City legend has been linked with the Clarets for several weeks.
The attention has only intensified in the last few days - despite Burnley suffering relegation from the Premier League on Sunday.
This is not the outcome we wanted and for that we are sorry.
You gave everything at Turf Moor today and you've been with us every step of the way - for that we couldn't be more grateful. ❤️#UTC pic.twitter.com/wLdJLUcThJ

Kompany returned to Anderlecht in the summer of 2019, initially joining as player-manager before hanging up his playing boots in August 2020.
He then turned his full attention to coaching - guiding the club to third in the Belgian league this season.
"Today only one feeling prevails: I am proud that I was able to start this new chapter at the club of my heart," Kompany revealed on the club's website.
"I have now been a player and a coach of RSC Anderlecht.
"But above all I remain a loyal fan."
A move to Burnley would allow Kompany to return to a region where he spent 11 years of his life.
His wife Carla is from Manchester and their three children were all born in the city.
