As if the Red Devil cursed him: Raheem's 0/27 against THIS team

Sterling has faced them 27 times, representing four Premier League giants, and has yet to find the net!
Even though Raheem Sterling's career is experiencing a specific downfall, at least he can brag about playing at four Premier League giants, as Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, and now Arsenal have been the only sides he represented. However, there's one thing he's failed to do in his 13-year-long career.
Despite scoring as many as 182 career goals, Sterling never netted against one particular opponent, even though he faced them 27 times?! Last night's FA Cup duel between Arsenal and Man United was the 27th time the 30-year-old encountered the Red Devils, and not once did his name appear on the scoresheet!
Raheem Sterling has faced Manchester United 27 times since first facing them in 2012. He has played for Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea & Arsenal against Man United and has NEVER scored against his boyhood club.

However, there could be something "karmic" about Raheem's fate regarding the Old Trafford side, as he admitted in an interview in May 2019 that he was a massive United fan as a child. Given that Manchester are out of the EFL Cup, their Premier League clash - scheduled for March at the Theatre of Dreams - could be Sterling's last chance to get rid of this bad run, at least regarding this season.
