Manchester City were beaten to the announcement of their first signing of the January transfer window by a sportswear company on Saturday - but not all was as it seemed.
Boot manufacturer Umbro unexpectedly announced that the Premier League leaders had signed United States international Mix Diskerud on a four-and-a-half year contract from sister club New York City FC.
The Manchester-based company tweeted: "Delighted to report the news that @MixDiskerud will further be cementing his relationship with Umbro in our hometown, as he proudly continues his footballing development with a 4,5y Manchester City FC contract.
