How does Sir Alex Ferguson led and recruit his team?

Sir Alex Ferguson is a very fiery competitive natured guy. His strict disciplinarian attitude has caused some players to nickname him "Furious Fergie". He loathes players with huge ego and doesn't cooperate well in and out of the field. He's a fearless and full with charisma manager who often make public appearances to speak his mind about a matter to avoid public critics. He doesn't tolerate lack of focus and commitment of a player even though they know that they're going to lose. He wants that sense of loyalism when playing for Manchester United. He also gets easily mad at players who thinks they're above him as he doesn't like to be asked to do things.

Criticism: 

On Arsene Wenger : "They say he's an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages. I've got a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages!"

On the referee Alan Wiley: "The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit. He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous."

 On Jose Mourinho: "He was certainly full of it, calling me boss and big man when we had our post-match drink after the first leg. But it would help if his greetings were accompanied by a decent glass of wine. What he gave me was paint-stripper."

The quotes above were all quoted from Sir Alex Ferguson during interviews with medias and the press. He was clear about what he has to say and he is straightforward with anything. He has nothing to lose and he wants to be ahead of other competitors. I feel that he demonstrates a very autocratic leadership style as he wants things to be done his way. He was also partially a democracy person as he wants feedbacks on his ideas or tactics. With this, he can lead his team to a win with the combination of the players and managers ideas to target and counter the opposing teams tactics.
