Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling appreciates working with manager Pep Guardiola.

Sterling, who has scored 22 goals - 17 in the Premier League - is understandably grateful for the opportunity to work with the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss.

"It's all about the basics with him. He pushes you to be better at the small things and that improves your performance," he said.

"It's be great for me to learn in this environment and improve as a player under him.

"He's one of the best managers in the world. It's special to be part of. I just need to keep improving and focus on how I can help the team.

"I set my own targets and I aim to achieve them every season but it's more important to get the club where it wants to be.

"It's been a good season for me but there are details I can change to make me sharper or more clinical and I always look to improve."
