Kompany again starred at centre-half as City beat Newcastle 2-1 at Eastlands on Sunday, sending them above United and Arsenal into second place in the Premier League.
That means the Blues are above the Reds as far into the season as October for the first time since 1990-91 - the last time they finished the season above their city rivals.
City fans will have bragging rights for at least a fortnight over the international break but Kompany claims the City players are focused on their own game.
"It's not about United, it's about ourselves," he told the Manchester Evening News.
"As long as we try to remain in the position we are in now, and maybe one spot away from first place, everyone will be happy, regardless of where United are."
The win put City a point behind leaders Chelsea, who later bounced back from last week's 1-0 defeat at Eastlands to beat Arsenal 2-0 and reopen a four-point lead at the top of the table.
"The result was the most important thing - it meant we could sit back and watch what happened between Arsenal and Chelsea," Kompany added.
"We didn't play at our best but we did the job and that is what mattered.
"We can look at the league table and feel we have done a good job so far."
