Manchester United legend Paul Scholes can't understand Raheem Sterling wanting to leave Liverpool.

Writing in the London Evening Standard, Scholes said of Sterling's contract stand-off: "When it comes to his future, my view is that Raheem Sterling should stay at Liverpool.

"They have elevated him from the junior sides and he has a manager who has built a team around him. He plays every week. What more do you need at that age?

"Sterling is a good player. He can beat a man and on his day he looks impressive. But he doesn't score enough goals, not yet anyway. You have to be careful when you time a move to one of the biggest clubs. Occasionally, these young players do not realise what a good thing they are on to when they know they are playing every week."
