Pep Guardiola has been credited with taking Raheem Sterlings career to the next level
“When you look at his improvement under Pep [Guardiola], you think to yourself ‘wow’ and he’s still young,” he said.
Sterling scored 17 Premier League goals for Man City in their treble winning season and was named as Player of the Year by the Football Writers.
“There’s a lot more for him to learn and there’s a lot more for him to do and he’s enjoying his successes in front of goal,” Ferdinand, Queens Park Rangers’ director of football, added.
“If he continues to have the success he’s having at Manchester City, then you could see a team like Real Madrid or Barcelona being the next stepping stone for him.

Van Dijk ended up winning the prize, but explained his vote. “I voted for Raheem Sterling. I did what I thought and I thought he deserves it. He’s had a fantastic season. I think I could have voted for Bernardo Silva as well and another couple of players from Manchester City. But I am just being honest. I think he has improved a lot as a player.”
