Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has always made sure everyone knew who was boss - even when playing cricket.

Ferguson's old Aberdeen defender and Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish recalled playing cricket with Fergie while in Scotland.

He said: "One pre-season with Aberdeen, Fergie decided we would have a game of cricket and that he would bat first.

"In the very first over, his stumps were sent flying. Alex just stood there and said 'That's not out. In this game, you can't be out in the first over... ' "
