Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling is learning a lot from his team mate Sergio Aguero as he bids to improve his killer instinct in front of goal. Argentine striker Aguero has scored 94 Premier League goals since his debut in 2011 while Sterling has bagged 11 this season, equalling his best return in a single campaign. "I have been working on my finishing -- it's something I want to do. Obviously, we have players in the team like Sergio who you can look at and improve your game, and it's no different for me," Sterling told the Manchester Evening News. "He is a world-class striker and someone I can look up to, so it's always nice to have someone like him you can watch and see how they finish." Sterling, who joined City from Liverpool for 49 million pounds ($69.8 million) last year, was guarded about his goals for the rest of the campaign. "It isn't near my target. But it's a personal target, not to put in the press," the 21-year-old said.

Victory at Chelsea on Sunday would put Manchester United back in Premier League title contention, manager Louis van Gaal said on Friday as the former champions were again linked with Jose Mourinho.

Portugal's Nani is poised to make his 99th appearance for his country in a crunch clash with Hungary on Wednesday and has been an automatic choice for the Selecao for a decade, yet there is a feeling the forward has not fulfilled his dazzling potential.
