Jones and fellow England Under-21 international Chris Smalling - signed from Fulham for £10 million a year ago - will provide healthy competition for established central defensive duo Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
However, Ferdinand - who has made more than 350 appearances for the Red Devils since his £30 million move from Leeds United in 2002 - has insisted that he is still hungry for success at Old Trafford and will not be giving up his place for anybody.
"I remember what I was like when I was young," he said in The Sun. "I remember looking up at Slaven Bilic, Marc Rieper, Alvin Martin and Steve Potts at West Ham.
"I was only a kid but I used to sit on the bench and think I should be playing. I am sure these guys think the same thing.
"If they have got anything about them they should.
"They are all talented footballers and, I believe, Manchester United players. At some point I am sure they will take over the reins.
"But I am competitive and I don't want to be giving up my position to anybody. My task is to prove I am hungrier than them."
