Raheem Sterling and Morgan Schneiderlin are both heading to Manchester for medicals after their respective clubs agreed to let their stars move to the blue and red half of the city.

It seems the most protracted transfer saga of the summer is nearly done after press reports indicate that Raheem Sterling is scheduled to arrive in Manchester, today, for a medical that will surely cement his £49m move to the blue half of the city.

After having two previous bids rejected by Liverpool, it was a surety that the English transfer record was going to be broken. That record had been held by Andy Carroll after Liverpool agreed to pay the ridiculous sum of £35m to Newcastle back in 2011.

The 20-year old leaves Liverpool after three years in the first team that has seen him make 92 appearances scored 18 goals and made 14 assists. I have to admit, I like watching the lad flying down the wing for England, but those statistics do not demand a fee that big. Sterling signed from QPR as a 15-year old, back in 2010, and the newest member of the Championship will receive 20% of any sale.
