VIDEO: Jaap Stam’s dream team is hard to argue against

Ticks all the boxes

Ben Kiely

Manchester United and AC Milan are represented well in Jaap Stam’s ultimate XI.

The former Red Devil has picked a dream team of stars he’s played alongside, and there’s not much room for improvement in it.

He gets two thumbs up from us for doing what Juan Mata failed to do for his all-time United XI by selecting Roy Keane in midfield. You can watch Stam say some pretty complimentary things about Keane, particularly about his importance to the club in the video embedded below.

Elsewhere, he chose an iron-clad defence of Serie A legends which boasts Alessandro Nesta and Paolo Maldini, while he opted for the lethal strikeforce of Dennis Bergkamp, Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo, the original gangster (O.G.) Ronaldo.

Good God he’s played alongside some world class talent.
