Man City players are pranked by Greeters Guild comedian Troy Hawke

Manchester City players were left amused and baffled after being greeted by comedy character Troy Hawke ahead of their pre-season tour in the USA.

Comedian Milo McCabe's character Troy Hawke has become famous for taking his Greeters Guild persona to shops around the country, welcoming and waving goodbye to customers, often to the irritation of staff.

However, this time it appeared he had been invited by Premier League champions to greet the players ahead of their trip to America, leaving a number of them baffled including Jack Grealish.
