Mendy has won the majority of his £11 million claim for unpaid wages against his former club

Manchester City will have to pay ex-player Benjamin Mendy around £8.5m after a judge ruled the club had wrongly stopped his pay.

The 30-year-old took City to an employment tribunal in Manchester last month, claiming his former club had wrongly stopped his £500,000-a-month salary after he was charged with sex offences and remanded into custody in August 2021. He was subsequently cleared of all charges.
