Yo dont disrespect our GOAT Lord Maguire like that. I dont know another defender to be as good as him. He is that good that he can defend without looking at the player. His pace is so frightening. He always uses his weak foot. And he is the deadliest player out there. I mean I cant remember another player to be so deadly against both goals.
Yusuf Kurniawan stop comparing a boy to a man! Until VVD can do what he’s done this season a minimum of 3 times over he cannot be compared to the likes of Vidic
I've come back to watch this guy's talent on his birthday. He was incredible and so fearless. In every one of those clips, he is the only guy that actually runs in and defends his ground - never hops backwards and hesitates to tackle (like Jones in every clip), he just does it and that's what made him so good. We haven't had a single defender like that since he's left. Defensively and physicality wise, he's the best defender that United have had. Then you had Rio beside him, who was the guy that had the amazing leadership skills. Unbelievable defensive duo!
Ofc rio wasnt just a leader he was a really good defensively and had amazing ball distribution and technique, thats exactly why he was a midfielder before being transitioned to centreback, he one of the all time british centre halves
He will always be remembered as one of MANCHESTERD UNITED legends , he said to the other players " you want to go to our goal try to pass me ... you don't dare"
I was too young to appreciate Vidic Now as a grown man I miss him every week especially when I see who is our current captain at CB :'( Bailey has the passion and bravery or Vidic but he gets injured too much... Vidic was our last real Captain Rooney did well as well but he wasn't captain long enough.
Imagine entering the pitch, knowing you got this man at your back. It's not only his performances, but the confidence boost you give to the rest of the team to play freely cause they know Nemanja got their backs. Played such a major role to United's success during almost 10 years.

@@S.O.A_Zero vidic did that because he had Rio behind him. VVD is always the last man hence the positioning. But still, if you compare the 2 on that, yes VVD is better.
2:34 this moment here showed Vidic's true class. He timed himself perfectly before tackling because he knew if he went in early, the attacker could have easily passed to his teammate. Instead Vidic stalled for a moment to cut off the passing lane. The moment he was sure the attacker was committed to go on goal, Vidic immediately lunged in for the tackle. And all this awareness happens in a few seconds. The guy was an absolute monster. But he was also a genius.
agree, was the best clip in the video. aggression is one thing and will get casuals out of their seat, but the reading of the game in that moment was on another level.
The guy who took the ball from Messi is Nemanja Vidic. He is the only defender to win Premier League Player of the Season twice and probably is the best PL defender of all time. You should react to "Van Dijk is Good...But Vidic was a BEAST!" by Teo CRi.
Even if he went wrong footed, he’d still be able to see the hole left by the attacking player and attacked that space with whatever he had left. What a player.
You remember the bravery, heading and slide tackles. But his safe control, quick distribution, and Athleticism gets forgotten. Dude was pretty quick and his anticipation was phenomenal.
Definitely one of United's goat for defence. No nonsense defender that rarely had a bad game or mistake. Even chipped in with a few goals every season. So helpful to have a defender that scores a few from set pieces. Really miss Vida n Rio's partnership, a really good mix of attributes.. but the one person that probably misses that partnership more is De Gea 😋
Vidic set the standard for the club there hasn’t been another defender recruited like him since he left We were lucky to have him at Man Utd and the premier league
Exactly. I've been saying this for years now, people always think that the players and teams today are better than those of the past, which is not true. Comparing Liverpool to United 1999 is a disrespect to that team which had the likes of Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Beckham...
@@Crypto.aziz7if you look at it relatively they might not be better... But you cant argue with the fact, that 20 years later the game is much faster, players have significantly more stamina and sprint speed due to advances in nutrition and training methods.
I never had a chance to watch ferdie football that buy coz i was a kid... so i never watched vidic But now i have to watch ETH and LICHA... different people same football
@@muhammadhassaan2840 nah, him individually couldnt perform on the same level, mostly due to the loss of mobility. Hence these loads of tackles in this vid.. thats his last two years, he had to make many tackles because he couldnt get there on feet quick enough
Tamás Kerekes Truth. Vidic’s anticipation was surreal, he knew where the ball would go before it happened. In terms of mental fortitude and tactical talent he was up there with the likes of Pujol and Baresi, although purely tackling wise he was short of monsters such as Nesta and Cannavaro.
Just bc his tackles were “something” different that makes him the greatest defender to ever touch the ball? Lmaoo. He’s surely one of the greatest not “the greatest”
@Najam Farooq lemme add John Terry, Fernando Hierro, Gaetano Scirea, Ricardo Carvalho, Japp Stam, Materazzi, Lilian Thuram, Laurent Blanc and you may also add Thiago Silva and Ramos when they retire.
What makes Vidic beast is his totality... He never unsure when he tackles or chasing the ball... He doesn't care about his or opponent legs.... He only care about takes the ball and clear the danger... The real warrior....
Meanwhile, VVD only knows how to scream at Salah when liverpool concede a corner or when konate miskick the ball to a striker feet. If you are world class, you would perform as needed.
Watched Neville's Overlap yesterday with Ferdinand as guest. Rio mentioned that Vidic was the EPL footballer whose nose was broken the most. Rio and others advised Vidic to hold up his hand to guard his face. Vidic's reply: "I only see the ball and I go for it". He got hellava bent nose.
Sir Alex was genius at signing these players from nowhere for a few million and making them into world class players. Nobody outside of Serbia had heard of Vidic when he signed and now the world will never forget him.
weeeeelll that is not true... i'm from Serbia and Red Star Belgrade is my team... i saw him play and when he signed for MU i made a bet with him that he is be a captain .. needles to say i won it...
VVD is a joke compared to vidic, cannavaro, nesta, stam, baressi, samuel, puyol, lucio, beckenbauer, b. moore, ferdinand, maldini etc. He had 1 really good season and thats all. Considered to be best defender nowadays shows only how football is going down in sense of talent
Football Life pretty big of u to say that Considering you watch highlights only and say “watch the game” Not everyone performs their best in all games dumbass
Vidic playing when the most of tough players were still young, when football was a bloody hell, not with divers bastard who were just looking for penalty.. really different era..
he is really under rated,when i saw him go up against messi and other legends he really stayed dominant and his achievements such as premier league trophies shouldnt define him as an individual player.Great in physicality,great in being physical while keeping it clean without injuring anyone or playing dirty,great in interceptions and headers,should be in the top 5 defenders if not top 10 defenders of all time in my opinion
Bought in the vinter transferwindow along with evra, in my mind it is still the best signings in january. Vidic was bought for 5-10m£ and i loved him, this was play that always gave it 110% imagine Roy Keane And Vidic on the same team in their prime, nobody would be able to score
That's when football was football a real man's game if vidic done those tackle now days the ref will send him of or the players will cause a fuss over the tackle
Vidic, a real daredevil and warrior of Manchester United's defense line back in the day. He never hesitates to throw his own body and get injured to cut opposition's attacking flow. Shame there's nobody in United now with fighting spirit like him
That's called love,respect for his team. Proud to wear this shirt and respect the badge and its history. And will never let down the fans or his coach and a passion for this beautiful game. He is warrior That's what some players lack of nowadays
Compare the 2009 stats of Vidic and 2019 stats of Van dijk..VVD isnt even close to him in his defensive ability.B4 you say he had Rio, Vidic has doubled Van dijk stats like interceptions, clearances, less goals conceeded etc.. Van dijk is good at backing away from attackers lol
The Invader a famous defender named maldini once said if i have to make a slide tackle i already made a mistake. Thats why u dont look at stats, if u think stats matter. Mustafi has the best stats in the premier league with blocks tackles and clearances purely because he plays at arsenal. Btw also look at the amount of important goals van dijk scores for liverpool and the threat he always causes at set pieces. Dont even let me start about the passing part. Van dijk is so much more complete and composed

He was a special player! Tough as nails too! Definitely one of the greatest defenders of all time!
my favourite defender what a man and a warrior what a guy!!
You remember the bravery, heading and slide tackles. But his safe control, quick distribution, and Athleticism gets forgotten. Dude was pretty quick and his anticipation was phenomenal.
I always thought his anticipation is put of this world. Along with nesta, maldini and such. But he had no regards for any human life lmao unlike them
Vidic:” This is how we play in my country”
[INSERT FOREIGN ACCENT]
"овако се играмо у србији"
-nemanja vidić,according to KMA,year unknown
im from his country
Its unbelieveable how good timed his slides are what a player
Definitely one of United's goat for defence. No nonsense defender that rarely had a bad game or mistake. Even chipped in with a few goals every season. So helpful to have a defender that scores a few from set pieces.
Really miss Vida n Rio's partnership, a really good mix of attributes.. but the one person that probably misses that partnership more is De Gea 😋
Vidic also managed two Premier League Player of the season Awards
Was goona comment the same thing
And most of these clips aren’t even from his prime.......
How bout you Jonah?
anwar 0606 wtf...lol
Exactly, a lot of these clips were after he had his knee injuries, he was even more of a beast before his injury troubles
@@nikhilamin1520 06-09 Vidic and Rio Monsters
Vidic set the standard for the club there hasn’t been another defender recruited like him since he left
We were lucky to have him at Man Utd and the premier league
You always need a player like him and Roy Keane in your team, they do wonders
Exactly. I've been saying this for years now, people always think that the players and teams today are better than those of the past, which is not true. Comparing Liverpool to United 1999 is a disrespect to that team which had the likes of Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Beckham...
Lol they definetly are due to research based training.
bro who on earth can say liverpool is better than manutd 1999 it is a complete disrespect
@@Crypto.aziz7if you look at it relatively they might not be better...
But you cant argue with the fact, that 20 years later the game is much faster, players have significantly more stamina and sprint speed due to advances in nutrition and training methods.
Its all opinion bro
Haha :))) torres made him looks like a fool, stop talking shit
This is the Era when matured men were playing soccer and nout because of money but because of the love for the game .
charles charles football not soccer
Ffs stop sayin soccer

Combining aggressiveness with world class anticipation and good aerial game… Legendary CB
I never had a chance to watch ferdie football that buy coz i was a kid... so i never watched vidic
But now i have to watch ETH and LICHA... different people same football
This isn't even him in his prime though. 95% of this footage is from his last season with United when he was considered by many to be past his best.
Yes. After his injury in Basel (fall of 2011) he was not the same. Still very good, but not the same world class
@@tamaskerekes2186 bcz the quality around him was fucked up
@@muhammadhassaan2840 nah, him individually couldnt perform on the same level, mostly due to the loss of mobility. Hence these loads of tackles in this vid.. thats his last two years, he had to make many tackles because he couldnt get there on feet quick enough
Tamás Kerekes Truth. Vidic’s anticipation was surreal, he knew where the ball would go before it happened.
In terms of mental fortitude and tactical talent he was up there with the likes of Pujol and Baresi, although purely tackling wise he was short of monsters such as Nesta and Cannavaro.
You're right 07/08 was prime Vidic in AIG MAN UTD kit
I’ve been watching united for nearly 20 years and Nemanja Vidic is my all time favourite player.
Same here, Best player Cristiano Ronaldo but my all time United best it's Vidic 😍
IDK is it statistical best on his position, BUT, PASSION and HEART made him LEGEND. Money is not important,for him FOOTBALL was important.
He was genius and mad at the same time. Real pro defender
His slide tackles were something different, he is the best defender to ever touch a ball
Maldini,nesta,baresi,cannavaro, Beckenbauer said hi.
@@ch.205M Beckhenbauer I can bet you've only heard about him on TV and wasn't watching him when he played..same for Baresi hahaha
@@thelmamoncrieffe7844 but doesn't change the fact they are GOAT defenders.
Just bc his tackles were “something” different that makes him the greatest defender to ever touch the ball? Lmaoo. He’s surely one of the greatest not “the greatest”
@Najam Farooq lemme add John Terry, Fernando Hierro, Gaetano Scirea, Ricardo Carvalho, Japp Stam, Materazzi, Lilian Thuram, Laurent Blanc and you may also add Thiago Silva and Ramos when they retire.
What makes Vidic beast is his totality...
He never unsure when he tackles or chasing the ball...
He doesn't care about his or opponent legs....
He only care about takes the ball and clear the danger...
The real warrior....
Meanwhile, VVD only knows how to scream at Salah when liverpool concede a corner or when konate miskick the ball to a striker feet. If you are world class, you would perform as needed.
Watched Neville's Overlap yesterday with Ferdinand as guest. Rio mentioned that Vidic was the EPL footballer whose nose was broken the most. Rio and others advised Vidic to hold up his hand to guard his face. Vidic's reply: "I only see the ball and I go for it". He got hellava bent nose.
Sir Alex was genius at signing these players from nowhere for a few million and making them into world class players.
Nobody outside of Serbia had heard of Vidic when he signed and now the world will never forget him.
weeeeelll that is not true... i'm from Serbia and Red Star Belgrade is my team... i saw him play and when he signed for MU i made a bet with him that he is be a captain .. needles to say i won it...
@@hibiskus83 yes but you’re from Serbia. I said “outside of Serbia” he wasn’t known.
@@BBeowulfhe was bought by Spartak Moscow so at least Russians knew
He is the best defender of all time Manchester United legend
@utsa karmakar Nooo man !!
You don't saw the real football
The best for all time is the beast Phil Jones
Ahhahahahahah. Maldini,Baresi,Nesta,Cannavaro,Beckenbauer?
@@cipriannegara3841 really man 😂
Gang Swag when you find me a clip where they dispossessed the one of the best/the best player of all time like that you can come back to me.
@@gangswag556 Cannavaro was definitely not better than Vidic. Others maybe, i would put in Ramos in the mix too.
That tackle on Messi so clean, tells everything:)
the only clean tackle i've seen in this video... agressive as hell
@@watch4me- go back and watch garden bowls if these tackles aint for u
You shouldn’t be watching def ending videos if he’s too aggressive for u
VVD is a joke compared to vidic, cannavaro, nesta, stam, baressi, samuel, puyol, lucio, beckenbauer, b. moore, ferdinand, maldini etc. He had 1 really good season and thats all. Considered to be best defender nowadays shows only how football is going down in sense of talent
You know a defender is insane when he makes a tackle and then immediately run back to his position
When a real man play football.
Never cheat,playing fair,always tough.
No unnecessary fight,tackle,angry.
Like ramos,pepe,otamendi etc
Vidic got into fights and did unnecessary tackles
But that doesnt make him bad
He is still amazing, Ramos and Pepe too
Maybe not Otamendi though lol
Football Life pretty big of u to say that
Considering you watch highlights only and say “watch the game”
Not everyone performs their best in all games dumbass
Football Life nah ur just an idiot
Bs he’s dirty ask Torres
Football Life agree?
Who? Your fake friends who only hang out with you because they feel bad about you? 🤣
Vidic playing when the most of tough players were still young, when football was a bloody hell, not with divers bastard who were just looking for penalty.. really different era..
3:12 : One of the most brexit tackles I’ve ever seen
he is really under rated,when i saw him go up against messi and other legends he really stayed dominant and his achievements such as premier league trophies shouldnt define him as an individual player.Great in physicality,great in being physical while keeping it clean without injuring anyone or playing dirty,great in interceptions and headers,should be in the top 5 defenders if not top 10 defenders of all time in my opinion
Don't compare anyone with vidic this man is another level
Maldini, Baresi, Nesta and Cannavaro are better.
@@Anonymous-rz6vq i meant comparing vidic to current defenders.
@@Anonymous-rz6vq they all are pretty much the same, aggressive elite defenders.
@@mohammedsahal5516 ah ok. fair enough then. I mean, Prime CHiellini, Godin and Silva imo comparable to Vidic.
Keo Manil Its not anyone has dribbled pass him, he is not dare to go one on one with them, remember how VVD avoiding every battle against messi?
Vidic is my favourite player to this day, absolute beast 🔥💯💯
Just imagine in a three back formation if there are LCB = Sergio Ramos , CB = Vidic and RCB = Pepe . Opponent's team = are we still alive 😂😂😂😂
Opponent strikers: "Mommy, I'm scared!"
Bought in the vinter transferwindow along with evra, in my mind it is still the best signings in january. Vidic was bought for 5-10m£ and i loved him, this was play that always gave it 110% imagine Roy Keane And Vidic on the same team in their prime, nobody would be able to score
3:12 almost ended walker’s career
was Lennon i think
Tea Aung nah it wasn’t, I saw that game live, it was walker 100%
Hes fearless
Tried to at least
DONT CARE BRUHH AS A CB WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME 🤤🔥🔥
Before=Vidic
Now=Phil Jones
Now= Bailly lindelof Maguire Shaw and AWB. Top class defenders don't ridicule yourself by pointing out the only weak link
Ashwin Raphael he was joking 🤦♂️
@@maguirethegoat213 how is that a joke?
@@ashwinraphael r/whoooosh
Whats wrong with Jones, he is a legend!
Now united have MAGUIRE what a legend he is
That's when football was football a real man's game if vidic done those tackle now days the ref will send him of or the players will cause a fuss over the tackle
Degea: with Vidic i feel safe
With Maguire?
@@nolepaja Degea: i feel i need to pee all the time
Feel bad for De Gea to go from having Vidic and Ferdinand in front too Magalof must give him nightmares.
Other team strikers: with Vidić I don't fell safe
This one i was searching
tall, tank, beast, fast, strong, cold hearted, can score header, great captain..what a perfect center back
Lisandro Martinez is the closest player to vidic in this era
Vidic, a real daredevil and warrior of Manchester United's defense line back in the day. He never hesitates to throw his own body and get injured to cut opposition's attacking flow. Shame there's nobody in United now with fighting spirit like him
That's called love,respect for his team. Proud to wear this shirt and respect the badge and its history. And will never let down the fans or his coach and a passion for this beautiful game. He is warrior That's what some players lack of nowadays
Compare the 2009 stats of Vidic and 2019 stats of Van dijk..VVD isnt even close to him in his defensive ability.B4 you say he had Rio, Vidic has doubled Van dijk stats like interceptions, clearances, less goals conceeded etc..
Van dijk is good at backing away from attackers lol
Vvd have Alisson, Robertson and Trent
El Wariato Robertson and Trent can’t defend to save their lives
The Invader a famous defender named maldini once said if i have to make a slide tackle i already made a mistake. Thats why u dont look at stats, if u think stats matter. Mustafi has the best stats in the premier league with blocks tackles and clearances purely because he plays at arsenal. Btw also look at the amount of important goals van dijk scores for liverpool and the threat he always causes at set pieces. Dont even let me start about the passing part. Van dijk is so much more complete and composed
As Maldini said «If I have to make a tackle, I have already made a mistake»
Please do not compare Vidic to Van Dijk, he is not even close
yeee didnt remember asking for an answer
In a world of Maguire's be a Vidic. True warrior ❤️
Imagine you are De Gea. Once, you played alongside with Vidic, and now you have to play alongside with Maguire
