Sterling Was Right To Join MCFC, He Is Also Right To Join Chelsea – Rio Ferdinand

Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has come out to blast Liverpool supporters for doubting Raheem Sterling’s judgement to join Manchester City in 2014. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Sterling simply saw the opportunity to go and win big trophies immediately at City, so he is very right to have chosen that route for his football career.

Ferdinand added that Sterling’s latest move to Chelsea is another good move for his career, and he looks forward to seeing him a Blue shirt next season.

His words, “You know what, I thought I’d just come on man because Raheem Sterling… just signed for Chelsea, just unveiled as a new player coming in,”

“You know what it does my head in when there’s a split opinion about him and I don’t understand it. The guys come from London, QPR went to Liverpool done really well part of that forward line with Sturridge, Sterling and Suarez that was devastating at times as a young kid, a baby almost.”

“Gets transferred from Liverpool to Man City, huge fee, goes there, takes a risk in some people’s eyes taking a big chance leaving somewhere that takes a big chance on him in Liverpool big history, great forward line, great opportunity to do some great things there to play alongside the greats like Suarez and Gerrard etc.”

“But you think, you know what, he saw the opportunity to go and win big trophies immediately and he said it himself in the post he put up this morning saying ‘do you know what, I came here a boy and left a man, 11 trophies’ you can’t argue with that. From a team point of view, he made the right decision 100 per cent going to Man City when he did.”
