The anti-Van Dijk chant from Manchester United is ridiculed for aging like fine milk.
As their mocking cry directed at Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has been compared to spoiled milk, Manchester United supporters have found themselves on the receiving end of jest.

When Liverpool splurged a whopping £75M to lure Van Dijk from Southampton to Anfield. United supporters made their feelings abundantly clear with a cheeky chant that rang out at the time, the original jibe was born back in January 2018
“I can’t recall a chant aging as poorly as this,” said a third fan, echoing the feeling, and another joked, “I almost forgot they even did this; they’ve been reaching for straws for some time now, haven’t they?”
