THE SCAN SPORT-for the third year in a row, the world champion, pious Muslim, sacrificed to the Omra in the Holy land.
Paul Pogba is a Muslim pious. As in may 2017, then may 2018, a few weeks before the World Cup, Manchester United's midfielder went on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The world champion posted on his Instagram account a picture of him, along with Everton's Defender Kurt Zouma. Both players are in front of the Kaaba, in the heart of the Masjid Al-Haram mosque. Paul Pogba accompanied this cliché with a few words: "never forget the essential things in life".
Announced on the departure to ' ' man U ' ', the midfielder took advantage of the end of season in England to sacrifice, in this month of Ramadan, to the immersion in the Holy land. This is the third year in a row that Pogba made this pilgrimage to Mecca.
In 2017, he had mentioned "the most beautiful site I have ever seen in my life", covered with the white garment that Muslims traditionally wear. A year ago, in a video posted on Instagram, he had the joy of being in Mecca. "Only people who come here can understand how I feel, so I hope that the people who have never come to the Holy Land will do it one day," he confied. It is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful place and the feeling I feel, I can not explain it. Inch'Allah, you will come here. Salam
The English press, never stingy with a small perfidy, however hasten to point out that Paul Pogba, this year, wore a luxury accessory. "Manchester United's midfield also seems to have thought it was the perfect time to show off his Gucci 530-pound shoulder bag (600 euros)," the tabloid the Sun... Indeed a little ostentatious for a place where the believer is supposed to show humility to testify of his fervor.
