| Raheem Sterling moved to Manchester City for £44m in the summer |
JOE HART has no doubts that Manchester City new boy Raheem Sterling will go on to "set the world stage alight", despite yet justifying his price tag yet.
The England star made the move from Liverpool to the Etihad during the summer for £44million, a record fee for an English player.
He came under heavy criticism for the switch, and was reportedly reluctant to travel with the Merseyside club for their pre-season matches in Asia and Australia.
Sterling is yet to have a significant impact on the City's season, scoring just twice in 10 appearances, but Hart revealed Sterling does not let the criticism affect his performances on the pitch.

He said: "Raheem never shows that the pressure from City or England supporters is getting to him - it's pretty obvious when you're around him.
"It was a tough time in the media and from the outside before his move but he was perfectly fine and very excited to start his new chapter at Manchester City.
"He has coped with it really well. He is an excellent player, a really good person. He is someone who has at least 10-15 years left in football and to set the world stage alight."
