The game, which comes to us via Redmen TV, features Markovic, Sterling, Jordon Ibe and Philippe Coutinho in a four-man knockout tournament to crown the competition’s inaugural champion. Each competitor must keep the ball in the air while trying to distract their opponent and forcing them into a mistake…

I think it’s fair to say our Serbian midfielder took this to a whole new level. See for yourself below:

Sterling has been widely linked with a move to Manchester City. The latest rumour, via the Daily Mirror, is that City are preparing to make a take it or leave it offer of £44m for the wantaway England international.

As the Mirror states, City have already been unsuccessful with two bids and Liverpool are determined to hold out until their £50m valuation is met. Sterling has asked to be left our of our pre-season tour to the Far East, possibly to help force through the move, but he’s still been included in the squad listing on our official website.
