South Korea international Ji-sung Park was the hero for the Red Devils at Old Trafford as he notched the game-winner deep into injury time to seal a 2-1 victory after also scoring the opener.
Ferguson was full of praise for his side's resilience after they managed to snatch the crucial three points.
"We've done it so many times and you have to admire the perseverance of the team, the never say die (spirit)," The manager told MUTV.
"It was a long struggle. Given the changes I had to make, trying to get the continuity of performance was difficult today.
"I thought Wolves were the better team in the first half, they played very well but we got a great goal right on half-time and I thought that would settle us. In the second half we were the better team. We lost a bad goal on our part but went on to get a late winner."
Ferguson feels his side did particularly well given some of his players were not fully fit after a virus swept through the United camp this week.
"Some players played with touches of flu and others with diarrhoea, so we've done really well to get a result," he said.
"This morning we had to check on Patrice Evra, Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic, they were all under the weather.
"Nemanja in particular did well to play in that game, Patrice battled on and I was only going to use Paul if I needed to. I did need to and he did well."
Ferguson was full of praise for man of the moment Park, whose clinical goals came at crucial times.
"Right on half-time and right on the final whistle are amazing times to score," he added.
"But Ji's in great form actually, he's been one of our best players in recent weeks. It was another really good performance from him today."
Man. Utd 6/4, Man. City 7/4, Draw 12/5
