Former Watford striker Troy Deeney believes Raheem Sterling, despite his limited Arsenal appearances, would be a valuable asset to Manchester United. This opinion sparked a heated debate with a defiant Man United fan who questioned Sterling's current form and ability to contribute in a demanding system.
Troy Deeney sparked a heated debate with a staunch Manchester United fan after asserting that Raheem Sterling would be a valuable asset to the Red Devils' squad. Despite Sterling's limited playing time for Arsenal , primarily coming off the bench, Deeney maintained his belief that the winger could make a significant contribution to United. The debate unfolded on the talkSPORT program hosted by Matt and Adrian when a Man United supporter, Aaron, challenged Deeney's assessment.
Aaron argued that with the emergence of Amad Diallo, who has been performing well as a wingback under the new manager's system, there was little justification for Sterling's inclusion. He pointed to Bruno Fernandes's elevated role in the midfield and the presence of other talented attacking players like Garnacho, Mainoo, and Diallo as evidence that Sterling wouldn't be a priority signing.Aaron vehemently disagreed with Deeney's opinion, stating that on any given day, Fernandes outshines Sterling. He criticized Deeney's punditry, questioning how a player struggling to secure a starting spot at Arsenal could be considered worthy of a place in United's lineup. Deeney, however, stood firm in his belief, arguing that Sterling's experience and quality could be invaluable to United. The debate highlighted contrasting perspectives on Sterling's current form and potential impact, with Aaron emphasizing the need for a player who can consistently contribute in a demanding system like United's. Despite his limited playing time, Sterling has shown glimpses of his former brilliance, notably assisting Ethan Nwaneri's first Premier League goal against Nottingham Forest. As Arsenal navigates through injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, Sterling may see an opportunity to earn more minutes and solidify his role in the team. His performance in the second half of the season will be crucial in determining whether he can live up to the expectations placed upon him by both Arsenal fans and his former manager, Mikel Arteta.
