Sonny Bill Williams has met up with Manchester United star and fellow Muslim Paul Pogba as he continues preparing for his first Super League season in the UK.
Williams posted a photo of himself and the French World Cup winner in Manchester on Twitter.
“Asalamualiakum (sic) my Brother @paulpogba #Bismillah ,” he wrote, which translates to peace be with you and in the name of Allah.
Williams has met and developed friendships with Muslim athletes across a number of sports during his career, including UFC superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov and South African cricket great Hashim Amla.
