Watford legend, Troy Deeney, has urged Manchester United to sign hould Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling.
Deeney believes the England international will offer Manchester United attackers leadership role.
Sterling is expected to leave Chelsea before the summer transfer window closes this week.
The 29-year-old has been banished from Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca ‘s first-team squad.
When asked whether Sterling would improve Man United manager Erik ten Hag’s squad if he does join the Red Devils, Deeney told Sky Sports:
“Sterling is better than anything Manchester United have got. At the moment he’s delivering more than Marcus [Rashford], he’d give more of a leadership role to the likes of [Alejandro] Garnacho and Amad [Diallo].
“Those guys will look at Sterling, see what he’s won at City, see what he’s done at Liverpool, see what he’s done on the international stage, and think ‘Right, I can learn off that.”
