Paul Pogba, world’s most expensive footballer, is in Makkah as he marks the start if the holy month of Ramadan.

The 24-year-old French international shared a picture of himself in Makkah on Sunday, captioning it the “most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life”.

He also sent a tweet wishing everyone a “happy Ramadan”.

Pogba became the most expensive footballer in history last summer, after Manchester United paid Juventus a reported £89m ($114m) fee.

On Wednesday, he lifted the Europa League cup after Manchester United beat Ajax in the final in Stockholm.

Following the end of the season, he shared a short video of himself with a suitcase, saying he was “en route” for his prayers. He is attending Umrah, a non-mandatory Muslim pilgrimage.
