Manchester United soccer midfielder Paul Pogba has said he will take legal action against “false reports” that he intends to withdraw to France.
And those reports indicated that the 27-year-old Pogba could retire from the French soccer team due to statements by French President Emmanuel Macron on Islam.
The young player, who was a member of the French team that won the 2018 World Cup, scored ten goals in 72 games for his country.
Bogba said: “The completely unfounded news circulating about me refers to things that I have not said before.”
“I feel terrified, angry, shocked and frustrated for using my name to create fake news headlines,” the Man United midfielder wrote on his Instagram account.
Bogba, who is Muslim, added: “I am against all forms of terrorism and violence. Unfortunately, some press workers do not act responsibly when writing news, abuse press freedom and do not verify the authenticity of what they have written or rewrite, generating gossip regardless of its impact. It affects people’s lives and mine. “
He confirmed that he will take legal action “against the editors and those who contributed to the spread of this false news.”
