Right Midfielder – Raheem Sterling

At 22, Raheem Sterling still has a bright future in Manchester. His play this season has been a great sight to see, while he forms himself into a top attacking midfielder not only in England but in Europe. His nine goals and 13 assists in all competitions, shows his numbers have increased since last season. Sterling, like Sane, brings superb pace to the line-up and is a deadly threat when challenged in one-on-one situations. While he continues to play with confidence, I see Sterling’s numbers continue to rise.
