And when he did come across the pond, he admitted that he was a big fan of Manchester United. Despite Arsenal and Chelsea dominating a couple of seasons now and then, Sir Alex Ferguson's side ruled the roost in the 2000s.

"I need to keep that quiet!" he said when his love for Manchester United was brought up.
"But when you start playing for a team, you immediately start supporting them because you want to do your best for your team and you always want them to do well.

Sterling would go on to play four seasons at Liverpool before making a £49m move to United's derby rivals - Manchester City.
