But the United boss was not pleased with the amount of chances that his side missed.
He told Sky Sports: “I thought it was a good performance but I thought we were wasteful with the chances we had in the match.
“We should have really had the game won by the 30 minute mark but their goalkeeper (Radek Cerny) had two fantastic saves, obviously we missed a couple of really good chances.
“But all in all, it was a very good performance.”
Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick scored the goals for United.
Ferguson said: “I think (Carrick’s goal) puts the game to bed really and he did fantastically well. He’s been at the top of his game now Michael, I’m really pleased with his performances and he gave us that control in the middle of the pitch with Phil Jones.”
