Ruud Van Nistelrooy Names Toughest Four-Man Defence He Ever Faced

Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy named AC Milan’s 2004-05 side, featuring iconic duo Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta, as the toughest defence he ever faced in his career.

The prolific Dutchman enjoyed a remarkable playing career at United and lifted a Premier League title, an FA Cup and a League Cup under Sir Alex Ferguson.

How would you rate that back 4 out of 10?

[billyd]

Probably the best back 4 ever, especially on a good day!

[SabbatarianCalvinist]

Imagine being hounded by Gattuso and Seedorf in the midfield to then face that back 4. Incredible that teams managed to score against them.

[ashconbeats]

That Milan defence was insane. How can u have Cafu, Nests, Stam and Maldini. Literally all 4 are some of the best defenders of all time.

[lukmanlukman]

Milan defense was a cheat code back then

[TheMancalorian]

Ruud is such a top player but more so a top guy.

[aamerziaulhaq]

not just the defense that milan first 11 was full of legends respect to one of the greatest sides in history ❤, a united fan

[stevenmills]

Milan team until 2009 was the best team for three decades..

[cqtsfon]

The best Man united best center forward of all time during his time with all perfect qualities.❤

[banwoadeleke]

this man made them fear united. simply ruthless.

[jesussantivanez]

Milan 2004-2005 was: Dida - Cafu, Nesta, Stamp, Maldini - Gatusso, seedorf, kaka, pirlo - shevchenko, All of them on their prime, just insane.

[lyrickoner]

People talk about how great Maldini was (and rightly so) but I've personally never seen a better defender than Jaap Stam. He was tremendous.

[omarmuhammad]

Lol Van Nisteroy in awe of Stam just speaks volume of the player Stam was, best defender of the premier league era

[AtulSingh-sbhu]

Cafu, Nesta, Jaap, Maldini 💥💥💥💥💥 oooof

[dman]

Makes liverpool 2005 champions league victory even greater.

[fatullahwahap]

As a Liverpool fan. I still didn’t know how they managed to comeback within 6 minutes against Milan.

[nayeemali]

Just literally named the best back four of all time

[gregordrizzlewing]

I still think that AC Milan team is the best team ever.

[masihJ]

What people forget is behind all of them you had Dida ❤

[osheylisticbeats]

Gattuso was like Ramos & Pepe fused to one body…very crazy guy😤
