Raheem Sterling admits which team he plays as on FIFA 19 - and it could anger Man City fans

Raheem Sterling snubs his Manchester City team-mates when he plays on FIFA - and risks angering fans at the same time.

That's because Sterling often decides to play as one of City's biggest rivals when he is taking on his pals.

Like a lot of modern day footballers, Sterling is a big video gamer and often will take part in matches against his fellow team-mates when they travel to away games.

Many Premier League stars take their PlayStation or Xbox consoles with them on long trips before games, where they are forced to spend evenings in hotel rooms.

Strict curfews are in place for top level stars, meaning that they are often resigned to their rooms.

It is no different for City and Sterling is often the one desperate for games.

But when asked which teams he picks when he plays FIFA, Sterling made a controversial confession and told the Daily Star: “Usually PSG... and I shouldn’t say this but Liverpool .”

Sterling left Liverpool for City in 2015 and has gone on to be a key figure in their team - especially during their Premier League title campaign last year.

He averaged a goal every other game throughout last season in his best campaign to date.

Sterling has only recently linked back up with the City squad ahead of the new season after returning from holiday after England's involvement in the UEFA Nations League finals.

He featured in City's Asia Trophy draw with Wolves - but skied a penalty over the bar in the early stages.
