Unknown to many of his fans, Pogba is not just a practising muslim, but a devout one.

He was said to have been introduced to the faith by his mother, Yeo Moriba, who he described as his inspiration.

Yoriba, according to a report by Quora raised Pogba and his twin brothers all  alone by  in an estate near Paris.

Drugs were rife near their home in Roissy-en-Brie, but she kept them clean.
