Raheem Sterling "disappointed" with how Liverpool exit was handled

Raheem Sterling admits that he was "disappointed" with how his transfer from Liverpool to Manchester City was handled.

New Manchester City signing Raheem Sterling has revealed his disappointment with how his Anfield exit was handled.

The England international officially joined City for £49m on Tuesday, having asked to be left off Liverpool's pre-season tour of Thailand last week after missing two days of training through apparent illness.

Sterling is quoted as saying in the Liverpool Echo: "I was a bit disappointed how I left. That was the main problem I've had with the situation – how I've left it with Liverpool.

"I'm good with everyone at the football club, the manager, the players and I wish them well for the new season. But it was really disappointing how it did finish off."

Sterling's switch made him the most expensive British player of all time.
