Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling admits playing in MLS is a career ambition.

Sterling was speaking at a US function where he revealed a future move to the country is something to consider.

“English football has grown massively over here [in the US]," he said. "It wasn't like that in the past and it'll continue to get bigger.

“I was surprised walking out of the hotel today and being recognised by one or two people. I didn't expect that over here.

“This is a country I would one day love to be able to come to. Your weather is a lot better over here than ours is.

“Hopefully one day I can bring my family over here."

He continued: “There's always games on our tele at the training ground, we're either watching this or the Australian League.

“For sure, this [MLS] is growing in the UK, and people are really taking it in and want to come over.

“[I] hopefully want to have a career here as well."
