England star Raheem Sterling has taken a swipe at team-mate Dele Alli for his pose and choice of outfit during a promotional image for the Tottenham man’s clothing range. Alli agreed to launch his own fashion line with British-based brand boohooMAN earlier this month, but it appears the publicity shots for the designs did not go down well with Sterling.
The midfielder can be seen leaning against a pillar with his hand behind his head, wearing a t-shirt, shorts and long socks. Sterling tagged both Alli and Boohoo in a post on his Instagram story along with a message that read: ‘what have u guys done to my bro’.
Alli appears to be enjoying the company of his England team-mates more than ever after also burying the hatchet with Manchester United’s Ashley Young. The pair were involved in a heated confrontation during Manchester United’s fiery 1-0 win over Tottenham back in October and exchanged verbals.
Young has revealed the pair are now on amicable terms, having made light of the incident while previously on international duty together. ‘We had a laugh and a joke about it,’ the United defender said. ‘People say he has to take that sort of stuff out of his game but he’s one of those players who plays on the edge. He winds people up, that’s just him.’
Sterling, Alli and their England team-mates are preparing for their two pre-World Cup warm-up games against Nigeria and Costa Rica. Gareth Southgate’s squad have just under three weeks before their opening World Cup game against Tunisia on June 18. They then face Panama on June 24 before their final group game against Belgium on June 28.
The final members of the squad are expected to link up with the rest later this week with Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold still resting following their exploits in the Champions League final with Liverpool.
