The fact that Pogba retired from the French team due to “Macron’s insult to Islam”

Many on social media circulated the news of the withdrawal of French star Paul Pogba, the Manchester United player, from playing internationally for his country due to the statements of its president Emmanuel Macron towards the Islamic religion and the decision of the French government to honor to the teacher who was behind the offensive cartoons of the prophet Muhammad, so what is the truth of this news?

The British newspaper “The Sun” pointed to the news widely spread on social networking sites and some Arab sites and newspapers, and said that various sources in the Middle East reported the news.

The widespread news says that “Pogba” considered the tribute to “Macron” and his government for the teacher, as well as the statements of the French president “an offense to the religion of Islam”, so he made his decision not to represent again to France.

The British newspaper confirmed that until the moment that the player or the French Federation had not commented on this news that was circulating, in terms of their social media accounts, they had not announced anything related to their withdrawal from playing internationally.

Furthermore, no reliable European or French website or newspaper mentioned anything about this news or any statement from the player or his close associates or any French football official, while the source of the news spread was an Arab sports website, and it is probably not true.
