Pogba observes Ramadan in Mecca

Paul Pogba is currently in Mecca, Saudi Arabia where he is observing the Ramadan with fellow Muslim faithful as he gears up for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The Manchester United star is one of the football stars who are devout Muslims and always dedicate quality time to their religious activities.

After losing the FA Cup to Chelsea on Saturday, the French international made his way to the Great Mosque of Mecca which is the largest in the world to be in the prayer mood for the fasting season.

Pogba treated his 22.5 million Instagram followers to the video of himself reporting live from Mecca where he urged for more Muslims who have never been to Mecca to try and visit the holy place so they can understand the feelings that come with it.

Pogba, who also visited Mecca during last year’s Ramadan is expected to fortify himself at the holy land as he gears up to join the France national team to the World Cup in Russia this June.
