Benjamin Mendy

Manchester City must pay former footballer Benjamin Mendy the majority of his £11.5 million unpaid salary withheld after he was charged with sex offences.

The 30-year-old's £500,000 per month wage was withheld by the club after he was charged with rape and sexual assault in 2021, an employment tribunal was told.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) had sought a bankruptcy order against the French footballer over a bill previously said to be around £800,000.
