United maintained their 100 per cent record in Group B after Antonio Valencia struck a late goal to secure a 1-0 win in the Russian capital last night. With three games still remaining, Ferguson hopes his side can now secure their passage with something to spare.
"The situation in the group is now nine points. I have always maintained that you need 10 to qualify.
"We now have a home game against CSKA in two or three weeks' time which we hope can take us to the next stage."
Ferguson felt his team had produced a professional performance on the Luzhniki Stadium's artificial pitch.
He added: "In the first half I think we played with a lot patience, which is necessary when you are playing away from home.
"Experience in these sort of situations is always vital."
