Benjamin Mendy was all smiles yesterday as he showed up to a local kick-about in Manchester just two days after being cleared of rape, it has emerged.

The ex-Man City footballer, 28, donned his former team's kit as he shook hands with local lads who were 'shocked' when he asked to join in their five-a-side game.

The former Premier League star had turned up unannounced to the sports complex in Ardwick, Manchester, on Sunday - after being cleared by a jury on Friday of carrying out sex attacks on two women at his £4million mansion.
