Silva loves me more than his girlfriend – Mendy

Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy joked that team-mate Bernardo Silva loved him more than his girlfriend.

Mendy, 23, made his return from a seven-month injury absence as Pep Guardiola’s side thrashed Swansea City 5-0 in the Premier League on Sunday.

Silva celebrated his goal – City’s fourth – with Mendy and the France international later joked about their relationship.

“He loves me more than food [& his girlfriend],” Mendy wrote on Twitter with an image of the celebration.
