Ferguson, 71, received a huge ovation in his final home game in charge against Swansea on Sunday, before thousands lined the streets for Monday's Premier League champions parade.
.
"Sunday was amazing and the parade on Monday, it was incredible, even better than 1999." he said.
.
"I thought the scenes after the treble in 1999 couldn't be beaten but I think Monday probably did."
.
"I went home that night and got 10 hours sleep, the first time in my life. It was marvellous, really good."
.
Ferguson, who will stay on at Old Trafford as a director and ambassador, has asked United's fans to support Moyes when he takes over as manager this summer.
.
He said: "I'm driven to take on some challenges and some other things right away.
.
"I've got the league managers' meeting on Monday, Newmarket Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm going on holiday, it's the [Epsom] Derby on 1 June, then the operation, then the recuperation, then the season starts.
.
"It can't be a substitution, it's a different life. Thirty nine years as a manager and from that day staring at East Stirling with eight players and no goalkeeper to today six 'keepers and about 100 players."
.
Ferguson was presented with a cake by the media prior to Friday's news conference in honour of the 26 years he has spent at Old Trafford.
.
He said: "There have been some times when I have not agreed with what people have written and when you write positive things I tend to dismiss them.
.
"But I have never held a grudge. It is not my style."
Him leaving Manchester United is still something so many fans are not happy with. But let's just keep praying for David Moyes.
