The Arsenal boss was thought to have a fractious relationship with Ferguson during the early stages of his reign in North London, but these disputes have abated in recent years.
Wenger is known to be a passionate protector of his own players when he feels they have been tackled with perceived excessive aggression.
Ferguson thinks this caused disputes when he first came to England, but says the Gunners coach has changed his stance.
"I think there was a conflict of opinions in the early games when Arsene Wenger came to Arsenal," he told Sky Sports.
"His view of our approach to games is not any different to his view on how other teams approach them today.
"He doesn't like his players to be tackled. But he's understanding that a bit better now.
"He understands that tackling is allowed and as long as it's good tackling there's nothing wrong with it."
Ferguson went on to deny that there had ever been a major feud in their relationship, despite some disagreements.
He added: "We had an area of disagreement maybe for a period of a couple of years, but it has never affected our relationship."
Arsenal and United are currently trying to peg back league leaders Chelsea and they lock horns at Old Trafford in December.
