Manchester United's pursuit of Chelsea attacker gets fans jittery

The winger has been linked to Manchester United in recent days but Red Devils supporters want to hear none of it.

Raheem Sterling has had a dream of a career in the Premier League since joining Liverpool from Queens Park Rangers in 2014.

Ever since, Sterling has been an ace player for the clubs he has represented, as well as his national team, England.

In 2015, Sterling joined Manchester City from Liverpool for a deal worth £44 million. This is where Sterling reached his prime under Pep Guardiola, becoming an English champion four times.

He later joined Chelsea after his last season at Manchester City was quite underwhelming. He moved to the Blues for £50 million.

Now, according to the telegraph, Manchester United's sporting director Dan Ashworth has discussed a swap deal with Chelsea that would take Jadon Sancho the other way.

However, this deal will potentially not settle well with the Manchester United fans, considering Sterling a former Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea player.

It would definitely hurt if Sterling was joining directly from their Manchester rivals but the fact he is a former player of all United's rivals hurts more.

Manchester United fans have taken to social media to air out their concerns about their new potential signing.

One user compiled a video of Raheem Sterling's misses while at Chelsea and captioned, "8 minutes of Sterling brilliance".

From penalty misses to selfishness on the ball when clear on goal, United fans are not happy with their next potential winger.
