Manchester United v Manchester City: 3 City players that Red Devils wish they had

#3 Raheem Sterling

Manchester City's Raheem Sterling is in the form of his life this season

One thing that Manchester United have missed a lot this season is the presence of a prolific goal-scorer like Sergio Aguero this season, but when we take a closer look at City's season so far, his teammate Raheem Sterling emerges to be the better attacking player and a player whom the team would like to have, if given a choice.

The English winger has been absolutely clinical this campaign, finding the back of the net 17 times and providing the assist for his teammates on nine occasions.

Operating from the right wing, he has been able to dribble past every left-back he's faced with ease, with Liverpool's Andy Robertson the only left-back who hasn’t been dribbled past by the former Reds star this season.

He has blossomed under Guardiola, with the Catalan helping him improve his game and he has also looked like a much mature player this season going forward.

With four games still left to play, it remains to be seen whether this season is the one where he breaches the 20-goal mark for one campaign.

But, one thing's for sure, he will prove to be a handful later this week for Solskjaer's men in a charged atmosphere of the Manchester Derby at the Old Trafford.
