"When you run up like that you better score," said Ferdinand on BT Sport. "You get in the changing room after and you'll hear it."Ferdinand believes Pogba can learn from Cristiano Ronaldo's evolution as a player, if he follows the same steps, i.e. cutting out the unnecessary tricks and focussing on becoming more effective with the ball. "Cristiano came as what we called a showpony, all the stepovers, looking good for the fans. He left the best player in the world, who lived and died by the end product. Goals and assists," Ferdinand told ESPN earlier this week.
"But that's down to intelligence, [Ronaldo] worked it out, actually, 'that's good that the people love me for that, but what's going to get me there, to the top of the mountain. I need to adjust my game.' And he left as the best player in the world.
"So Paul Pogba can look at that as something to learn from there as well. What do I really need to do to make myself the best midfielder on this planet?" Ferdinand said.
"Listen, he's got an ego, that's not hard to see on social media, this boy's got an ego, wants to be looked at and talked about as the best player. There's a hunger and desire for that, with that comes a work ethic."
