Agent Aidy Ward says Raheem Sterling is loving his football at Manchester City.
Ward insists Sterling's move from Liverpool to Manchester City has been vindicated because he has been handed "a license to thrill".
"Moving to City was right for Raheem, even if Liverpool fans don't want to accept that," Ward told the Mirror. "At City, he now has a licence to thrill.
"At Liverpool, Raheem was asked to play as a full-back, just like Emre Can was asked to play as a central defender when he is a midfielder. That wasn't going to help him develop as a player.
"He has gone up a tier. Manuel Pellegrini has played him in a wide role with the freedom to drift inside and he has also played as a central striker."
