Why I Converted To Islam Despite Not Being Raised As Muslim- ManU Midfielder, Pogba

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has opened up on his Islam faith saying that becoming a Muslim made him ‘better person’.

In an interview with British daily The Times ‘ Life Times, Pogba said he was not raised as a Muslim despite his mother practicing Islam.

He revealed that he started ‘questioning himself over a lot of things’ before turning to Islam and becoming ‘more peaceful inside’.

Pogba became interested in Islam after he decided to research the religion and follow a number of his friends by turning to the faith and the Man United midfielder credits the decision with helping to make him a better person.

Last month he was pictured along with Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma performing umrah pilgrimage to Mecca.

During an interview for The Times‘Life Times podcast, the 26 year old midfielder was asked what Islam meant to him, to which he said: “It’s everything. That’s what makes me thankful for everything.”
