Hatem Ben Arfa has backed Paul Pogba to succeed at Manchester United
Should the deal go through, Pogba would become the world's most expensive player - outdoing Gareth Bale's £85m move to Real Madrid in 2013.
However, despite the mega fee, fellow France international Ben Arfa believes Pogba can handle the pressure and he has backed United to get the deal done.
“It’s a huge deal," Ben Arfa told French newspaper Le Parisien.
"If Manchester United are investing so much into him, it’s because they know what they’re doing.
“Of course, Paul will have a lot of responsibilities due to it, but I have faith in him.
"I think he’ll be able to impose himself very quickly.”
