Pogba, a devout Muslim, was seen moving the beer bottle away from his eyesight as he undertook media obligations following France's opening game victory over Germany on Tuesday night with a serious look on his face while looking at the bottle of Heineken placed in front of him.
For Muslims, alcohol is 'haraam' or forbidden, with the Manchester United star's removal of the bottle likely to be due to his unwillingness to endorse the competition's sponsor.

The Portugal captain moved the cola bottles as he sat down to speak to the media at Monday's Euro 2020 press conference ahead of Tuesday's Group F opener against Hungary.
