United spent 89 million pounds ($115.6 million) to bring the
France midfielder back to the club from Juventus, and his former
team mate Ferdinand believes the France international can handle
the pressure.
"Paul is a huge talent and someone with the personality to
handle that price tag," Ferdinand told the BBC.
"Paul's character means he will deal with being such a big
investment, so that won't be a problem.
"He will relish the responsibility on his shoulders of bringing
medals and trophies to the club," he added. "That won't faze him
at all."
United have paid for allowing Pogba to leave for Juve in 2012,
but Ferdinand is confident the 23-year-old can make up for lost
time.
"It was a mistake to let him leave but bringing him back is a
statement of intent," added the former England central defender
who joined United for a then British record fee of 29.1 million
pounds in 2002.
"He is going to be a top player for years to come and he will
make a big difference to United's title chances."
