The Dutch forward takes to Twitter to stand behind the former Manchester City defender after he was cleared of sex offences

Ex-Barcelona striker Memphis Depay took to social media to show his support for former Manchester City star defender Benjamin Mendy after he was found not guilty of the alleged sexual misconduct and rape charges against him by the jury on Friday.

Depay has now reacted to the incident as he penned a message on Twitter, saying:

"All cases dismissed. So what are we doing now? Who is going to help this brother heal? Who's going to be responsible for the damage on his name? How he's going to have his career back?

"Many years of investment to become a professional football player... Now what!? I've never touched on this subject because I didn't know all the details, but I've spoken to him once true FaceTime while behind bars and faced him on the pitch a couple of times... I didn't see any evil in the man.

"We can't accept this to happen to us as athletes... Who's going to stand up for us in the time of need, not when the damage is already done? Don't turn your head, people," concluded he.
