Time really flies. Just like yesterday, Manchester United news, Raheem Sterling came in tight on a close transfer window amidst a disturbing Alexis Sanchez Saga. It was also during the same period that a confused Adrien Silva decided to make his way to the foxes. And now, with his Manchester contract expiring soon, Sterling is delaying talks on renewal, with the hope that Real Madrid will come lurking ominously to sweep him away. This is coming after the forward was strongly linked to the Spanish giants in 2015.

Without doubts, Sterling has maintained an impressive form for high-flying City this season. He already has 13 goals registered to his name from 23 games- all impressive record for an attacking midfielder or winger. It’s even fascinating how some of these goals are recorded late as match winners. For instance, in the game against Southampton, the 96th minute strike from the youngster was what gave away the game to Pep Guardiola’s side. Even Manchester united is lacking such quality.

The 22-year-old has also been phenomenon in City’s Champions League campaign this season, scoring in four games out of the five the club has played so far. As a result, the Jamaican-born winger has consequently caught the interest of a good number of top clubs in Europe. But it seems he is happy at the Manchester Etihad and would rather concentrate on helping the club finish strong with the title. He will also need to remain in form in order to aid his country’s campaign at the World Cup next year and help maintain Manchester City’s dominance in EPL.

However, Sterling’s recent exploits is not entirely one-sided. Guardiola may also have something to do with his upturn given how the youngster is causing trouble from the wing instead of his normal forward position. Likewise for punters, free spins real money is a reality.

Apart the manager’s tactical input Sterling is undeniably one of the players in Manchester City’s line-up that’s responsible for Manchester City’s domination in the premier league at the moment. With last Sunday’s derby in Manchester arena going in their favor, the club has extended their lead in the premier league chart over second placed Manchester United to nine points.

Although, the former Liverpool player still has two years to see out in his present contract, the Citizens are hoping that he might be able to stick around beyond 2019. Guardiola's hold on the youngster despite serious interest from the Gunners last summer clearly shows Manchester City's determination to keep Sterling a little longer. This is coming as he seeks to consolidate on his dominance over Manchester United and others even in Manchester arena.

As it stands now, nothing is certain about his future. And even if he was to sign for the Galacticos according to Manchester United transfer news, it would have to be after the World Cup.

According to Manchester United transfer news, a move to Santiago Bernabéu anytime soon will definitely do well for the England star considering the less impressive form of the club at the moment. And Given his current £180k weekly wage at Manchester City, there’s no doubt he would earn something similar or even more at Los Blancos if the deal finally pulls through.
