**Chelsea Winger Raheem Sterling Wouldn’t Rule Out Joining Manchester United**

Raheem Sterling, the Chelsea attacker, has revealed that he is open to a surprise move to Manchester United, despite his seven-year stint with arch-rivals Manchester City.

Sterling has fallen out of favor with Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who has not included the England star in any of his squads since the start of the season. As a result, Chelsea are willing to include Sterling in a deal for Jadon Sancho, who is set to leave United ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline.

While Sterling has maintained an affinity for his former club, the opportunity to play for United – one of the biggest teams in the world – is an option he would consider.

However, there are concerns about whether a deal that would see Sterling and Sancho swap clubs is possible. Sterling’s reported £325,000-per-week wage will be a significant hurdle for any interested clubs, including United.

The same issue applies to Sancho’s reported £300,000-per-week salary, which would not fit into Chelsea’s lowered wage structure.

Juventus have a concrete interest in Sancho, and the Italian club is believed to be more advanced in their move to sign the winger. Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are also interested in Sterling, while Arsenal are monitoring the situation.

It remains to be seen whether any of these clubs will make a move for Sterling or Sancho before the transfer deadline on Friday.
