Man City defender Benjamin Mendy trolls Kevin De Bruyne and Aleks Zinchenko

Benjamin Mendy trolled Kevin De Bruyne and Aleks Zinchenko over the weekend after City's Belgian playmaker shared a pictured of him and his son on holiday.

De Bruyne uploaded a snap of him throwing three-year-old Mason into a swimming pool to Twitter alongside the caption: "Throwing my kid like a basketball because we miss the nba season".

Mendy simply responded: "Poor Zinchenko".

De Bruyne and Zinchenko are regularly ribbed for how similar they look to each other. After a match in February 2018, the pair jokingly argued in City's changing room about who is the uglier player of the two.

Meanwhile, Zinchenko is expected to be offered a new contract at City this summer as a result of his impressive form towards the end of last season.

City were willing to let the Ukraine international leave in 2017 and 2018 but his impressive showings in recent months forced the club to reevaluate.
