Raheem Sterling has hinted at a possible return to Liverpool in the future

The Manchester City key man who still has three years left on his deal at the Etihad expressed his undying love for his former club Liverpool during a social media Q&A.
Sterling took part in the session on the Instagram account of Colossal Sports Management, the agency that looks after his affairs, on Monday night.
The England winger was asked directly if he would return to Liverpool one day and replied: "Would I ever go back to Liverpool? To be honest with you I love Liverpool.
"Don't get it twisted, they are always in my heart. It's a team that done a lot for me growing up so…"
Sterling, 25, joined the Liverpool academy from Queens Park Rangers in 2010, before making his first team debut at the age of 17 when he came on as a substitute against Wigan in March 2012.
He went on to make 129 appearances for the Merseyside outfit, scoring 23 goals in all competitions.
But his departure remains a huge hurt in the memory of Liverpool fans who often greet him with jeers and boos whenever he returns to Anfield.
Since his departure in 2015, Sterling has won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and three League Cups with Manchester City, and has scored an impressive 89 goals in 230 games for Pep Guardiola's men.
