Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba has vowed to take legal actions against European media outlet The Sun for publishing what is not true about him.
Some hours ago, The Sun reportedly stated that the World Cup winner has quit international football after comments from French president Emmanuel Macron alleging that Islam was the source of international terrorism.
Pogba however, took to Instagram to rubbish such claims, branding it as 100% fake news. He further threatened to punish them legally for ‘abusing their press freedom’.
Read Pogba’s comment below:
“So The Sun did it again… absolutely 100% unfounded news about me are going around, stating things I have never said or thought. I am appalled, angry, shocked and frustrated some “media” sources use me to make total fake headlines in the sensible subject of French current events and adding the French National Team to the pot. I am against any and all forms of terror and violence. Unfortunately, some press people don’t act responsibly when writing the news, abusing their press freedom, not verifying if what they write/reproduce is true, creating a gossip chain without caring it affects people’s lives and my life. I am taking legal action against the publishers and spreaders of these 100% Fake News. In a quick shout out to The Sun, who normally could not care less: some of you guys probably went to school and will remember how your teacher said to always check your sources, don’t write without making sure. But hey, seems you did it again and in a very serious topic this time, shame on you!”
