Manchester City have new shirt sponsors after signing a three-year, multi-million pound deal with Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airlines. The deal ends a long association with Thomas Cook and cements a relationship founded through City's new owners, the Abu Dhabi United Group. City will wear their new shirt for the first time in Cape Town when they tackle Orlando Pirates at the start of their three-match tour of South Africa in July. Executive chairman Garry Cook said: "These are exciting times at Manchester City as we look to build a world-class team and sustainable success on and off the field. "This partnership will play an integral role in our strategy."
