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.

“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?”

Van Dijk was just included in Liverpool’s roster after manager Arne Slot’s team barely avoided a last Saturday against Crystal Palace. Slot’s team briefly held a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League standings until defeating Fulham to pass them.
