Sterling managed to beat five of his rivals in the title of the best young players, such as Liverpool defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold, David Brooks (Bournemouth), Marcus Ransford (Manchester United), Declan Rice (West Ham United), and teammate Bernardo Silva.

Therefore Sterling said he was not too old to get the trophy.

"Who said I was too old to get this (the title of PFA Young Player of the Year 2019)? Very proud of the title of PFA Young Player of the Year, and I feel very grateful to get tremendous support throughout the season. Let's grab more, "Sterling said on his personal twitter, @ sterling7, Monday (4/29/2019).

For Sterling, getting a Young Player of the Year award is something new. So he was very happy to be given the title. The award has been around since 1974, which is usually reserved for the best young players under the age of 23. But in fact, Sterling managed to get the trophy when he was 24 years old. { SOURCE }
