The Ivorian told Ferdinand that he was one of the toughest defenders he'd ever faced, along with former Red Devils captain, Nemanja Vidic, and FC Barcelona's Carles Puyol.
"I've always said you and Vidic," he told BT Sport's Rio Ferdinand.
"I will say when I was scoring against Manchester United I was really, really happy because I didn't score much against them.
"So for me to score against you guys, it means that I had a good game!
"So, you two and Carles Puyol.
"Because he's tough and a very good defender, but he's a gentleman."
Drogba joined Chelsea for his first spell in 2004, and left in 2012 after eight successful seasons. The forward then returned to the side at the start of last season, but has since left the Blues again.
