United are currently top of the Premier League following their 7-1 win over Blackburn last week.
After this Saturday’s clash with Blackpool, United are set for back to back games against Arsenal and Chelsea.
Ferguson told Inside United: “You always want to win those games because I think they’re really significant.
“We’ve managed to claw ourselves into a position where we’re two points ahead of Chelsea, so the game at Stamford Bridge and Arsenal’s trip to Manchester will certainly be very important, there’s no doubt about that.
“We saw that last season – some big decisions didn’t go our way in the two matches against Chelsea and they ended up costing us important points.”
