Sterling handed warning by Van Persie after another poor display

Raheem Sterling’s underwhelming start to life in the Eredivisie reached a new low during a disappointing De Klassieker appearance against Ajax.

After two prior appearances as a substitute, the former Manchester City and Chelsea winger was named in the starting XI for the Eredivisie clash against NAC Breda, lasting just over an hour before being withdrawn. Despite the restricted minutes, Sterling is adamant that his physical condition is rapidly improving as he seeks to rediscover his best form in Rotterdam.
