Although his side went on to retain the Barclays Premier League title, Ferguson is still hurting by the defeat at Stamford Bridge.
He intends to put the record straight when England's top two go head to head on Wednesday night in Russia in the Champions League final.
He said: "I have the players to do the job and I trust them.
"Chelsea are physically stronger than most of the Premier League teams but we do not need to match that.
"We have to play with our main strength, our movement and our passing, our ability to create openings in the game.
"We are in good shape and I do not want us to change too much.
"Maybe we don't have the overall experience like Chelsea in terms of age but we have courage."
Certainly United have a variety of strong attacking options with the likes of 41-goal Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez to call on.
Tevez's loan spell is up next summer and United are hoping to tie him up on a long-term deal.
Ferguson said: "Part of the plan is to have Carlos at the club in the long term. There is no question we want him to stay.
"I think David Gill (chief executive) is progressing on that as best he can.
"One of the reasons we are here in Moscow and won the title is because of Carlos.
"He has that ability to score important goals for us, just like Eric Cantona used to do.
"Carlos has been a revelation for us and is a fantastic professional."
Ferguson insists, however, they are not a one-man band.
