The international midfielder of Manchester United and the France team Paul Pogba formally denied this Monday on
wanting to stop his international career with the Blues, thus putting an end to a rumor born on Sunday.
This suggested that the recent statements by Emmanuel Macron, following the tragedy of the assassination of Professor Samuel Paty, would have pushed the player, of Muslim faith, to end his career with the Blues.
Initially released by an Arab media, the false information had been relayed by certain English media including
The Sun.
"Paul Pogba would apparently have taken this decision following remarks which he considers an insult to himself and to Muslims in France", one could read in the British tabloid.
This Monday, Paul Pogba cut this rumor short by posting
a message
on his
account
that has the merit of being clear: “Unacceptable fake news”.
