Former NBA star John Amaechi believes that Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson's management style wouldn't work in other professions.

Former NBA star John Amaechi has criticised the management style of Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

The ex-Orlando Magic basketball player believes that while Ferguson's tenure at Old Trafford has been "remarkable", the Scotsman's style would be old-fashioned for other professions.

"Give him his due, someone like Sir Alex Ferguson, who I think is a remarkable individual, there is no other job he could do as a manager," Amaechi said during a Securing Sport 2013 conference, according to the Manchester Evening News.

"His style of management, we would not tolerate that in any other environment. If he was a French teacher at a school, he would last five minutes."

Meanwhile, Ferguson is on course to lead his side to the Premier League title due to their current 15-point lead in the table.
