Being Muslim is everything to me, says Paul Pogba

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has opened up about his conversion to Islam after the French footballer came back from the pilgrimage to Mecca.

Pogba, who wasn’t raised as a Muslim even after his mother practicing Islam, says he was ‘questioning myself over a lot of things’ before he converted.

The midfielder said:

‘It’s everything [being a Muslim]. That’s what makes me thankful for everything.

He added that turning to Islam changed him. “It made me change, realise things in life. I guess, maybe, it makes me more peaceful inside. It was a good change in my life because I wasn’t born a Muslim, even if my mum was. I just grew up like that, respect for everyone.”

The 26-year-old, who is being linked with a potential summer move to Spanish club Real Madrid, also defended Islam, saying the media portrays the religion wrongly.
