Speaking on the latest episode of Ferdinand's Vibe with Five podcast, he said: "This is what Fergie was great at. He was great at identifying certain individuals that could win us titles.
"I remember we played a game and the manager brought us in on the Monday and we done a video looking at a game; and we very rarely done a video on a Monday.
"He brought us in, played the video, and it just showed about 15 clips of Van Persie making runs and us not finding him.
"The ball is at (Michael) Carrick's feet, Van Persie off the back of the defender and in; if the ball comes, he's in. Perfect timing, perfect run. Scholsey's getting it, not playing it to him, not seeing it. Van Persie is in.
"The manager is stopping the video and saying: 'what are thinking, what are you doing. He will win you titles, he will win you the league. Pass him the ball!'"
"He said: 'All you've got to do is get the ball to him, pass the ball to him, and he will win you the league'.
"The clips, he kept going over them: 'Look at him running, what is wrong with you? Why are you not seeing this? Give it to him!' He was screaming at the boys.
He added: "From that moment, the ball was just being zinged in to him. To his feet, over the top, round the side, because they saw.
"Once the ball got there, the guy didn't miss. He was a killer. Unbelievable.
