The Netherlands striker joined United at the start of last season following eight years with Arsenal, for whom he scored 96 goals in 194 Premier League appearances. 
 
The 29-year-old spent just nine months under Ferguson at Old Trafford, but that spell brought his first-ever league title and served to whet his appetite for more glory under new boss David Moyes.
 
"I want more now," he said. "I want more medals because I now know how it feels. It gives you the taste for more. Hopefully next year we can win the double, or even more.
 
"First we can enjoy what we have achieved this year. Then you start to think about next season and, of course, we are looking forward to it.
 
"We have a new manager - maybe new players coming in. Wilfried Zaha is coming from Crystal Palace and there may be more, there may be some leaving, no-one knows. 
 
"It is a challenge and everybody knows what our standard is. We want to win the league again and then, hopefully, add one or two trophies to that." 
 
Van Persie claimed United's player of the year trophy in his maiden campaign at Old Trafford, as well as the club's goal of the season award for his volley against Aston Villa. 
 
He also won the Premier League Golden Boot, the second of his career, after scoring 26 goals, finishing two clear of second-placed Luis Suarez. 
 
The Dutchman feels Ferguson has had a lasting effect on him in the short period they spent together, claiming that he never expected the Scot to have such an impact. 
 
"I always thought he was a winner. If you are a winner and want to achieve things you sometimes have to be direct and tell the truth where it is needed but that is the way to win and so I wasn't surprised about him," he added.
 
"But when you see him from an outside point of view you maybe see 20 percent of Sir Alex. You see him on the touchline. You see him shouting at the referee, you see him wanting to win. 
 
"We are lucky to have seen what most people cannot see. He is one of the best managers in the world, maybe the best, and one of the friendliest people I have met in my life and that tells you the whole story about him."
