Vidic was quite possibly the complete defender. He had the tackling abilities of Wan-Bissaka, bravery/recklessness of Bailly, and the aerial presence of Maguire. Anyone who is saying Virgil van Dijk is better than Vidic must have started watching football 2 years ago. Vidic is incomparable, absolutely brilliant.
I swear players like Vidic, Park Ji Sung, Roy Keane and basically majority of Unites players back than either cant be produced anymore or just once every generation. These type of players are ones with pure heart and tenacity. Much love and utmost respect to them
@@ashiqurrahman8249 No the quote is for both of them, I personally watched when Ferdinand said that about Vidic, as did Van Persie, multiple times... And i am fan of Barca for 33 years...
I love that one. The most natural reaction would be to flinch or squirm away from someone about to kick a ball at your face, but Vidič squares off with the ball. 😂 Legend.
The Serbian Terminator. The best no-nonsense DEFENDER my eyes have ever seen. As an Englishman, my respect to John Terry, but Vidic was just a different breed. Blood, sweat and tears baby! Literally!
@@bigdub4638 vidic and ferdinand not same age... ferdinand is more stable... vidic going CB after wes brown injuries... before vidic CB ferdinand is still very good... kids only know the old ferdinand when he pair with vidic
Do you see any of this "modern cool looking players" do something like that?! MUTD was his life, his passion, his true love...I don't even think that these latest generations of MUTD supporters really know who he was! I hope that someday they will find out what Nemanja was doing in that jersey, and with that captain's armband around his arm
I love this guy, can't believe I didn't really appreciate him, was too focused on the likes of cr7, Rooney, Scholes, Nani.... Damn we had some really proper footballers.
I think many MU fan nowdays more appreciating MU defender in past cause our severe defense recent years. Our current attacking lineup very good yet why we cant win? People said need good defense. and by good defense finally we try look back how amazing MU def in past for comparison with now.
Vida was my favourite player over them all besides maybe Scholes. Best pure defender I’ve ever witnessed in my life. Maldini, Nesta etc were probably more complete footballers and had longer primes but in terms of just defending I’ve never seen anyone better than Vida in his prime before or since.
he is a real brave warriors, he is just like a soldier that give his whole body to stop attacking, many time he injured with bold stain in Jersey , one time see his tooth broken live on TV he win my respect.
Vidic was an absolute beast of a Defender. His coverage was everywhere in defence. He and Ferdinand's partnership was the Great Wall of England and Europe. Miss those lads👍🏿
Nemanja Vidic, the Serbian Gladiator. With Rio Ferdinand, they formed the best central defensive partnership for Manchester United in the Premier League. Better than the Gary Pallister-Steve Bruce duo.
Gets a spot in my all time best XI and the captains armband, that blend of absolute commitment and ability is very rare especially in todays game. I remember watching him at Red Star in 2001 and it was already obvious that he was world class! Brilliant career and achievements.
Emmanuel Adebayor: 🗣️ “Vidić was tough man, the nastiest, like running into a rock. He could block a striker with a single finger. He walks on you, says sorry, he kicks you, he says sorry. He shouts at you and makes a little bit of spit come out. This guy was ready to kill.” 💀
When will the fans of Manchester United sing and scream like this again.... miss those moments and those days were just nightmares for stickers vs the legend Vidic
How can anyone compare this murderor to VVD. Don’t get me wrong. VVD is amazing had a great season. One of the key factors for lvpool being this good. But Jesus Christ what goes through attackers mind when they see this train coming.... Top 3 best CB in PL, arguably the best one !! Much love fans. Hopefully we get to see something like this again
Kids who started watching PL after 2015 will say VVD, personally Vidic is so far ahead of VVD it’s almost funny that kids even compare them. The Serbian Terminator is one of a kind ❤️
Why he was the best? Because he was protecting the net against Drogba, Henry, Shevchenko, Messi, Ronaldo, Inzaghi, Kaka, Bergkamp, Aguero, Lewandowski, Suarez, Van Persie...And he did an amazing job.
As a long suffering Spurs fan crying out for a dominant Centre half..Vidic was fantastic..All the necessary tools required,with crazy like commitment and bravery!. No opposing Attack had a easy game when he was playing!
The man played his heart out for United one of if not the best defender we had back then ! Love the way Richard’s knees him in the face then goes down love like he was shot and vidic just walks away absolute legend
Vidic is one of the most underrated defenders of all time, he doesn't get anywhere close to the love he deserves
He is legend bro
He's not underrated but he is a legend, one of the best defender in premier league and in europe, he's well recognized by top media
Because hes from Serbia.
Disagree my guy, anyone over the age of 25 knows this guys a legend.
Underrated what waffle are you chatting, maybe by Liverpool Chelsea and arsenal fans but not by us

Anyone who is saying Virgil van Dijk is better than Vidic must have started watching football 2 years ago. Vidic is incomparable, absolutely brilliant.
Yeah he was absolutely immense. Much better than Maguire in the air though.
Agree
Dude :D You just can't compare our present players to Vidić :P
Yes. Agree
I easily think he was the best centerback at sliding tackles
I swear players like Vidic, Park Ji Sung, Roy Keane and basically majority of Unites players back than either cant be produced anymore or just once every generation. These type of players are ones with pure heart and tenacity. Much love and utmost respect to them
지송팍
It's sir Alex. He turned smalling into smalldini. Now back to smalling
Eyy, dont disrespect scotty again
The Fricker and Javier Hernández ?
100%
I like how Balloteli tried to square up to Vidic, realised he f'kd up, put his head down and walked away😂
Haha seriously 😂🤣 just imagine 'ballotelli' doesn't even want to mess with vidic💥
🤣😅
@@SimpsonJayHomer i can because im croat 🇭🇷
Balotelli would eat him alive.
@@kmezinjo3719 You would call the west, NATO or UN lol
What a player Vidic was , he would keep his head in places where players would be afraid to keep their feet , absolute beast of a defender
That quote is for PUYOL not VIDIC
He doesn't even care about getting an injury. Even if he got an injury he would still play. This is why hes my inspiration.
@@ashiqurrahman8249 it was for Vidic van Persie said that
Quote from Robin Van Persie hey !!
@@ashiqurrahman8249 No the quote is for both of them,
I personally watched when Ferdinand said that about Vidic, as did Van Persie, multiple times... And i am fan of Barca for 33 years...
Definition of a warrior= Nemanja Vidić
Average Serb
On 1:35 he lost the ball and wanted to protect the goal with his face. Absolutely brilliant act of courage.
Bravery and straight warrior in his blood
Truly warrior. No one now would do that
This is called dying for the club
This man literally gave his blood for United anyone with his amount of desire is bound to be a legend
1:39 trying to block a direct shoot by your face
vidic for you
I love that one. The most natural reaction would be to flinch or squirm away from someone about to kick a ball at your face, but Vidič squares off with the ball. 😂 Legend.
yeah mister no fear😂😂😂
"You can fix a broken nose. But if you let somebody score the goal, your pride cannot be fixed." - Nemanja Vidic
A Man of Men.
Nemanja puts his head where other players are scared to put their feet. That’s Nemanja. - Robin Van Persie
Mr. No Mercy Vidic. United best defender at all time, no doubt
whatever the team we were facing with Vidic and Ferdinand we was never afraid, this guy played like he had a license to kill
@Marko Smiljanic and he fucked him up
Others were afraid of United in those times...
@@YugoZexHow times change, eh?
Nemanja vidic best defender in history of football....VAN DIJK CANNOT GET TO HIS LEVEL
Totally agree, if once Vidic uses force and enters clean not as Van Dijk sometimes simply enters hard without ball, Vidic eats Van Dijk without doubt
VVD is more comparable to Rio honestly, he's a more refined defender. Vidič was obviously better though.
Hahahahahahhahaahahha
And he never will
Can never get to this level
The Serbian Terminator. The best no-nonsense DEFENDER my eyes have ever seen. As an Englishman, my respect to John Terry, but Vidic was just a different breed. Blood, sweat and tears baby! Literally!
He is the Best CB in United shirt for me.
Beuken Phom not just in UTD shirt 😉
I think rio ferdinand is the most complete... but this duo make the best hahaha
@@iniuni1447 Rio is complete because of Vidić.
@@bigdub4638 vidic and ferdinand not same age... ferdinand is more stable... vidic going CB after wes brown injuries... before vidic CB ferdinand is still very good... kids only know the old ferdinand when he pair with vidic
Vidic and stam the 2 best CB for United for me 💪
"The player or the ball are allowed to get passed me, but not BOTH" - Nemanja Vidic
I got the same advice from mine trainer
1:38 Thats what legends do!
Do you see any of this "modern cool looking players" do something like that?! MUTD was his life, his passion, his true love...I don't even think that these latest generations of MUTD supporters really know who he was!

He was the Captain
Actually he was my best players even when all the names you mentioned were there.
As a guy who played defense, Vidic was my idol in the squad. What an absolute beauty of a beast!
I think many MU fan nowdays more appreciating MU defender in past cause our severe defense recent years. Our current attacking lineup very good yet why we cant win? People said need good defense. and by good defense finally we try look back how amazing MU def in past for comparison with now.

Maldini, Nesta etc were probably more complete footballers and had longer primes but in terms of just defending I’ve never seen anyone better than Vida in his prime before or since.
Feel for anyone who didn’t watch him week in week out, one of the best defenders I’ve ever seen, and my favourite player behind Rooney
he is a real brave warriors, he is just like a soldier that give his whole body to stop attacking, many time he injured with bold stain in Jersey , one time see his tooth broken live on TV he win my respect.
I think every goalkeeper wish he has one like vidic in front of him...best defender of all time!
Nemanja o o o nemanja...what a heart he's got!
WARRIOR...! He seems to be straight out of 300 movie.
Vidic was an absolute beast of a Defender. His coverage was everywhere in defence. He and Ferdinand's partnership was the Great Wall of England and Europe. Miss those lads👍🏿
He is one of Manchester united player that I will never forget in my life,because of his seriousness in the field.
Video is great,I'm glad to be Serbian because of Nemanja.
You should be. Vidic is one of the living legend of MU. Thank you.
Vidic is everything... watching the way united defenses effort this current time makes me miss him alot more😭😭😭😭
and Jokic 🏀, Serbia produces monsters and one of the best countries, because of its people, I have ever been
Manchester united need this type of defender in this days what a legend the beast Vidic
We got one finally...Martinez
We will never forget vidic big respect as man utd fans
Best defender I ever had the privilege of witnessing ❤️
Oh god I missed him so much... He is a warrior 😭
This is our VIDA 👊, živ bio LEGENDO ❤⚪❤⚪❤⚪❤⚪🇷🇸
Nemanja Vidic, the Serbian Gladiator. With Rio Ferdinand, they formed the best central defensive partnership for Manchester United in the Premier League. Better than the Gary Pallister-Steve Bruce duo.
No one in the Red Devils has had such a great spirit since vidic
maguire is too far away to reach Vidic in his prime
Eric Bailey has the brave of Vidic but he is injury prone
@@double8tz yes I would agree EB tries and I respect him a lot but his injuries fuck it up so much its sad.
He defends with his life
Gets a spot in my all time best XI and the captains armband, that blend of absolute commitment and ability is very rare especially in todays game. I remember watching him at Red Star in 2001 and it was already obvious that he was world class! Brilliant career and achievements.
Vidic was worldclass no doubt about that best captain i see of any team
Vidic header is absolute nightmare my gosh i just miss him haisss
Infinite respect for Vidic, living legend!

The best defender ever in Premiere league, absolute beast and class! 💪💪💪
The fact that he played for United makes me go nuts but boy he’s a top top football legend. He was exciting to watch. He deserves every praise.
true leader, red legend...
Very passionate,focused and always understood how crucial it were to protect his club from attacks very aware
Among the best Fergie signing given he was a complete unknown
My Favourite defender of all time
💯
Bukvalno išao glavom gde neko ne bi nogom. Brat Nemanja Vidić👏
Debi na derbijima, !9 godina, gol glavom protiv partizana, na Severu ludilo...
Najbolji defansivni fudbaler u istoriji po meni. jedan od 10 najboljih ikad u Mancesteru
@@nnd5768 I budući predsednik FSS!!!
Van Dajk...MANEKEN......Nemanja Vidic...NAJBOLJI STOPER u istoriji Premier League!!!
2:32 that celebration gave me goosebumps. imagine being in front ryt there.. damn
Me 2 😮😮
Yeah me too ahah
It was a last minute winner too
I always come back and watch this video again after watching maguire’s games
Now this is a kind of defender worth 100million in his prime.
2:32 that celebration is so fucking legendary. No celebration comes close
Vidic would put his head where others fear putting their feet.. LEGEND❤️❤️❤️
This man was a brick wall back in the day. The most underrated footballer I know, goat status.
He was a true beast of a player. Very fun and inspiring to watch as a kid. Warrior spirit.
How is he not the best defender in the world 🤷♂️ most underrated player
Plz don’t even compare him to VVD. He is an absolute Beast🙌🏻
who is beast vvd or vidic it's confusing from ur statement
@@jayes100vidić
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. So underrated, world class!
How I miss those glory days, that team with vidic and rio at the back was just so unbelievably strong.
An absolute beast of a player, proper defender.
SPARTAN!!
Man! What a defender he was... My generation (y) is so lucky to be witness these moments...
Kneed in the head by the strongest leg, Drogba @3:35. Vidic took it like nothing. Tru legend.
Vida was knocked out for some time on that game... But he continued to play after few minutes...
True warrior. True fighter. Sir Vidâ
10:45
Why am I crying... :'(
My heart feels heavy and I am having goosebumps. The memories are fresh.. 😊
I miss this Manchester United 😬. I'm crying.
When will the fans of Manchester United sing and scream like this again.... miss those moments and those days were just nightmares for stickers vs the legend Vidic
Soon
"i will destroy your lamest dribble skills"
Said Vidic
What an absolute beast!!!
He was the real rock of Man Utd.. a truly remarkable defender👏.. will we ever get a defender like him?
Imagine Vidic and Stam together. Oh my gosh.
The real nightmare for every striker in the world. 😈
It would probably not work. Ferdinand and vidic complemented each other stam and vidic would not
Stam was better than Ferdinand
He was like Vidic
Like a Monster
Stam + Vidic = every manager want to have defense like this
Two man without fear
Partgamer 1 it would, because Stam was also really fast
@@squerra too reckless cant have two no nonsense defenders
Top class player ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌍 One of the best defenders in the world ❤️🖤🌍 ... he’s very scary and very aggressive 🌍🤟🏻 I like that style 🖤❤️
Hard as nails was Vidic. Gave his all at man united . Simply superb
Man of Steel
He is a beast.....no fear to tackle...... dedicated......focused....... yeah undoubtedly one of the best defender ever in the history of football.
How can anyone compare this murderor to VVD. Don’t get me wrong. VVD is amazing had a great season. One of the key factors for lvpool being this good.

When you see the Nemanja Pain Train inbound I imagine fear is in any attackers mind......loved to see Vidic play....talent..... commitment...fearless
Just because too many kids always overproud of VVD... it make vvd overrated...
hopefully it comes fast... united is dying right now
Боже, как же он был хорош
He gave everything to the sports we love !!!!
Always love that last minute goal celebration against sunderland.
real defender played with his heart , never scared of a scuffle and left it all on the pitch
Why he was the best? Because he was protecting the net against Drogba, Henry, Shevchenko, Messi, Ronaldo, Inzaghi, Kaka, Bergkamp, Aguero, Lewandowski, Suarez, Van Persie...And he did an amazing job.
Ty Vidic For All of You're Help
Hvala Nemanja Vidić
Vidic, the only defender that hated himself so much; he would put his head where others would not put their legs.
A born defender..
Absolute beast of a defender!, one of the best of his generation.
As a long suffering Spurs fan crying out for a dominant Centre half..Vidic was fantastic..All the necessary tools required,with crazy like commitment and bravery!.
No opposing Attack had a easy game when he was playing!
Ferdinand was good because of this monster.. if he were english imagine what people talk about him.. one of the greatest modern defender
Legend
Vidic was the best defender of his time. Soo underrated because he is not from England. The same was with Berba.
3:34
Get's kneed in the face clearing the ball, Drogba acting like HE got headbutted in the knee 😂
1:13 min omg what a beast! Virgil van Dijk is good but VIDIC is a MONSTER!
Man… I was just thinking how none noticed that header… My God! Absolutely brilliant!
Jedan je Nemanja 😊
Pure warrior. Afraid of nothing 💪💪💪 His type of defensive style won't be seeing again. Enjoy all these clips,modern football is a non contact sport
The man played his heart out for United one of if not the best defender we had back then ! Love the way Richard’s knees him in the face then goes down love like he was shot and vidic just walks away absolute legend
Bring back that vibes when use to watch with confidence in each game
fighting and winning mentality of Vidic is unbelievable …… I just called him, HERO !!
He is just supper committed, tough guy loads of love vidic!
Hat off for one of the greatest defender of all time. Salute..
Leader
Captain
Warrior

The Best
What a player he was 🔥
One of the best and fearless defenders man utd had by a mile 👌
こんなすごいディフェンダー見たことない
A defender who scores against big teams...like chelsea,bayern,liverpool
Playing against this beast must have been so hard for strikers. What a LEGEND!
