Many people reacted positively to his post on social media because, despite his fame and wealth, he remains aware of his religious duties as a Muslim.
The United star has a week off before linking up with the France squad looking to triumph at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, which kicks off June 14.
Pogba made a similar trip last year, when he journeyed to Makkah just days after United had won the Europa League by beating Ajax in the final.
