Manchester City hook up with dating app Tinder after Liverpool heartbreak as club announce surprise sponsor


MANCHESTER CITY failed to manage a shot on target last night but scored a sponsorship deal with Tinder.

The Citizens were spanked 3-0 by Liverpool but put the defeat to bed with a lucrative new relationship.

Their partnership involves a multi-million deal with City’s men’s and women’s teams, as well as New York City FC.

A Tinder and Manchester City-branded blimp will fly over Manchester to celebrate the partnership, ahead of their derby with rivals United at the Etihad on Saturday.

Tinder is also switching its colours across social platforms to City blue ahead of the clash.

City were caught with their pants down in a rare sight as Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made it a date to remember for Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola’s side must rebound in time for the Manchester derby and the return leg against the Reds next week.

Manchester City Women have also suffered a recent slump but are just three points behind Super League 1 leaders Chelsea, with a game in hand.

City Football Group CEO Tom Glick said: “We believe this will be a perfect match for Tinder and for City.

“We have a great opportunity to explore how we can combine Tinder’s significant appeal and reach with our global audience to create even more relationships in a new, fun and creative way.”
