MANCHESTER, England — A judge has ruled that former Manchester City player Benjamin Mendy is entitled to the majority of his 11-million-pound ($14.15 million) claim for unauthorized deductions from his wages by the club. Mendy took City to a two-day employment tribunal claiming the club wrongly stopped his salary after he was charged with sex offences and remanded into custody in August 2021. Mendy was cleared by a jury of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault, relating to four young women or teenagers, following a six-month trial. Jurors failed to reach verdicts on two counts and that led to the retrial. He was found not guilty.
