Raheem Sterling is enjoying life under new Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, with the winger backing up his buoyant mood by shining on the pitch after he looked woefully out of form during England's poor Euro 2016 campaign.

Sterling became the most expensive English player when he joined City from Liverpool for 44 million pounds ($57.57 million) last year, but struggled to justify his hefty price tag in a disappointing first season in Manchester.
