Sir Alex Ferguson believes his Manchester United side are starting to find top gear, after producing their 'best performance of the season' in Saturday evening's 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers.

The Red Devils are now up to sixth place in the Premier League table after goals from Wes Brown and Wayne Rooney secured the points at Ewood Park.

United have now won their last four games in all competitions after starting the new season in underwhelming fashion.

"I think it was our best performance of the season in terms of passing, a really top performance," claimed Ferguson.

"It's always been a difficult ground for us over the years, they've always made it a battle and we've lost a couple of times here in the last four or five years.

"It's going to be an interesting season. What we've got to do is make sure we have a consistency and try and take something from every game."

Meanwhile, Ferguson denied claims from opposite number Paul Ince that Rovers goalkeeper Jason Brown was impeded by Nemanja Vidic in the build-up to Brown's opening goal.

The full-back forced home a deep Rooney cross at the back post with a point-blank header, after Vidic tangled with the keeper.

"I think the goalkeeper had every chance," claimed the veteran Scot. "The ball was in the air long enough for a goalkeeper to come and collect."
