Pogba is a practising Muslim but it is not known if he will spend the next month fasting with the world's most-expensive player named in Didier Deschamps' squad for France's games against Paraguay, Sweden and England in June.

Following the end of the season, he shared a short video of himself with a suitcase, saying he was "en route" for his prayers.
