Paul Pogba rejected reports of his retirement from the national team in response to comments from French President Emmanuel Macron. He called the news hoax or hoax.

Some British media have reported that Pogba intends to withdraw from the French national team due to Macron’s comments that have cornered Islam. The incident of the beheading of a teacher in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, France, on October 16, was the trigger.

Macron called the killings an “Islamist terrorist attack.” He said the teacher was killed for “teaching freedom of expression.”

It is also said that the French government award to the late Samuel Paty caused Pogba to resign from the Les Bleus team.

Pogba responded to the news that initially emerged from the Middle Eastern media. Through the account @paulpogba, the 27-year-old player provides a clarification.

“Unacceptable fake news,” Pogba said while uploading a screenshot of The Sun news.

Pogba has played 72 times. There were 10 goals contributed by Pogba, he helped France win the 2018 World Cup.

In 2019, Pogba revealed the reasons for embracing Islam. On the Life Times podcast he reveals it.

“It’s all. It makes me grateful for everything. It changes me, it makes me realize many things in life. I think maybe it makes me feel more at peace,” Pogba said at the time.

“It was a nice change in my life because I was not born Muslim, although my mother was. I grew up like that, with respect for everyone.”

“Islam is not like the image that everyone wants, terrorism … What we hear in the media is different, it is something beautiful.”

“Anyone can find out. Anyone who can find it feels connected to Islam,” Pogba said.
