Pogba slams France retirement rumours as ‘fake news’

Manchester United’s Paul Pogba said on Monday that reports claiming he had retired from international duty in protest against French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments about radical Islam were “fake news”.

According to reports in the Middle East picked up by British tabloid, The Sun, World Cup winner Pogba wanted to end his international career after Macron vowed to take the fight to Islamic radicals after the 16 October beheading of history teacher, Samuel Paty.

“Unacceptable, fake news,” Pogba, a converted Muslim, posted on Instagram with a screenshot of The Sun’s article.

Paty had shown cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to pupils in a class discussion on free speech in a school near Paris.
