Pablo Zabaleta has refused to refer to Raheem Sterling as a Manchester City legend while criticising the winger for his conduct following his high-profile move to Chelsea.
Sterling left City after seven-and-a-half trophy-laden seasons earlier this summer to join Premier League rivals Chelsea for a fee which could rise as high as £50million. The 27-year-old swiftly jetted out to the United States to link up with his new team-mates and partake in the club's pre-season tour.
The England international has already endeared himself to Blues supporters while enraging City fans after appearing to refuse to sign a shirt of his former club. Following the episode, ex-City star Zabaleta has taken aim at Sterling over his conduct since his departure while insisting he cannot be considered a legend at the Manchester club.
