Whirl around Manchester United star Paul Pogba!
On Monday, reports about his resignation from the French national team made the rounds.
The French
professional
footballer
Paul Pogba
from Manchester United is an avowed Muslim.
After a
terrorist attack
near Paris in which a teacher was beheaded, the
murder victim was
honored by the government.
Then there were reports that
reported
Pogba's resignation
from the national team.
But these turned out to be wrong.
Manchester - Midfielder
Paul Pogba is
reported to have
decided to
retire
from the French national team,
according to reports from the Middle East
.
The reason for this is said to have been President
Emmanuel Macron's
handling of
the deadly extremist
terrorist attack
on a teacher in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on October 16.

False reports make the rounds
Macron called the killing of the teacher Samuel Paty an
"Islamic terrorist attack"
.
The 47-year-old family man showed caricatures of Mohammed in class and was
beheaded
as a result
.
The French President also spoke of the "monstrosity of Islamist terrorism", people across France had mourned together after the horrific act.
The
French government also
decided to honor Paty after he was forcibly murdered.
The teacher who
showed
the cartoon on the subject of
freedom of expression
was accepted into the Legion of Honor.
This is the highest award given by the French state.
Professional footballer
Paul Pogba
, who converted to Islam, was falsely
accused
in the reports of
condemning
Macron's
statements
as well as the honor.
Nevertheless, the president was
criticized
by part of the population for allegedly
stigmatizing
the Muslim population of France.
But now it is clear: Pogba
did not
announce his resignation
- the reports seem to be based on false facts.
This is reported by the
Daily Mail
.

Paul Pogba: Converted professional allegedly criticized Macron statements - Arabic website origin of false report
The first report of the alleged resignation of
world champion
Pogba was published on the Arab sports
website 195sports.com
.
According to the report, Paty's tribute and Macron's comments are said to have been the driving force behind his decision to
step down for the Tricolore team
after
71 games
.
According to the erroneous report, Pogba apparently found the decisions taken as an
insult
to him and all Muslims in France, which is probably not the truth.
The 27-year-old Premier League * professional has not yet commented on his alleged
resignation
from the national team, nor has the French football association made a statement.
