Ferdinand said: “Nothing tastes much better than going to Anfield and winning as a Manchester United player.
“It was huge for our confidence and a fantastic feeling.
“They thought they had a good chance of beating us. They’ve been playing well and have the players to beat us.
“But we were resolute all over the park. Our wide men, forwards and midfielders all defended together.
“That’s a sign of a team that’s strong and well bonded. That is exactly what we are.
“The morale in the squad is unbelievable.”
He added: “Playing against Liverpool at Anfield and getting a good result is something you dream about as a kid.
“We have nicked a few results down the years but I think we were worthy winners this time because they only caused us problems in the first half and then from set-pieces.”
