| Raheem Sterling admits he's 'glad' to be at Manchester City |
RAHEEM STERLING has admitted he's glad to be at Manchester City after a tricky move away from former club Liverpool.
The 20-year-old refused a new contract at Anfield over the summer, and was subsequently labelled a 'money grabber' after making a £50million move to City.
Sterling's agent Aidy Ward has since blamed Brendan Rodgers for the ill feeling surrounding his move and said he would have singed a new deal had he not acted in the way he did.
"Raheem could've stayed, he should be at Liverpool, I think for me it was like he was being told to be a good boy and sign a contract," he told the Daily Mail.
"There was an underhandedness, there were sly remarks. In press conferences, Brendan told everyone Raheem would sign - why do that?
"I knew, Brendan knew and Liverpool knew there was an issue. Right now he probably should be a Liverpool player, but he's not and he's in a great place at City."
And the England international has since echoed his agent's remarks, claiming he's 'glad' to be at the Etihad and scoring goals.
