Following up on the aftermath of Paul Pogba's arrival as the most expensive player in football history, club legend Rio Ferdinand was immensely happy with Paul's arrival. Having played during the time he left the club to play for Juventus, Ferdinand knows how much the Red Devils really mean to him and acknowledged his talent as the most compelling reason for the fans to trust on a new team that will win many trophies in the seasons that are approaching. Ferdinand wrote a message on his Facebook account.
He wrote: "Paul knew what he wanted - he wanted to be the best player that his ability would allow. He knew hard work aligned with his natural talent would go a long way to getting him there. You could see he had a pure love of the game, always around to do freestyle skills before and after training, extra work on the training ground on various areas of his game and, importantly, you could see he was his own man, not a follower - someone who would not be influenced by others.
"He is well on his way [to becoming the best], and, with the platform of Old Trafford, he has a real opportunity to be the next Man United player after Cristiano Ronaldo to be crowned the best player in the world. Man United need to build around a group of young, hungry players like [Anthony] Martial, [Jesse] Lingard, [Marcus] Rashford, and Pogba is the one to lead that group from the front - the only way he would want it. Good luck, Paul."
