Paul Pogba told he went against Muslim beliefs

Nasir, a former Arsenal and Man City star, has now taken issue with Pogba's decision to seek the services of a witch doctor.

According to the Frenchman, Pogba's move was in contravention of Muslim beliefs, and he should have prayed to God instead.

"He (Paul Pogba) is a contradiction. He is a Muslim. If you have to protect yourself from something, you call on God, not a witchdoctor," Nasri via Get French Football News.

Ironically, Pogba has been struggling with injuries for some time, including the current one that could see him miss the 2022 World Cup.

He is currently nursing a knee problem, which has kept him out of action since rejoining Juventus in the summer.

Kylian Mbappe calls the Pogba brothers to understand how he is involved in their saga

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported that Kylian Mbappe had appeared to take official action after his name was dragged into a family feud.

Mbappe was placed at the centre of witchcraft allegations levelled by Mathias Pogba, Paul Pogba's elder brother.

Mathias alleged that Pogba went to see a witch doctor to cast a spell on Mbappe. Pogba has since denied these accusations and, in turn, said that his brother is part of a ring trying to blackmail him.
