Liverpool’s center back This week, Virgil van Dijk was observed working at the drive-thru window at Kirkby McDonald’s, assisting patrons with their orders.

It appears that Virgil van Dijk, who plays for Liverpool, can bring a McDonald’s to your car in addition to his on-field accomplishments.
Since moving to Liverpool for £75 million from Southampton in January 2018, the Dutch defender has been actively involved in the community. Nevertheless, the 6′ 5in center-back would not have been expected to be at the drive-thru window for those traveling to Kirkby McDonald’s this week for some quick food.
Social media footage shows Van Dijk assisting the McDonald’s employees by directing orders through the window. Unsurprisingly, a crowd quickly assembled, with children glued to the glass, hoping to get a close-up look at the Liverpool player.
Van Dijk, who was wearing jeans, a casual pullover, and sneakers, was then handed a tray of McFlurrys to distribute to the people who were waiting. Fans who were perplexed by his appearance in McDonald’s posted a lot of remarks online.
“He managed to get Maccies’ ice cream maker to function. He truly is capable of anything,” a commentator made in jest. “Getting a Mcflurry off Virgil,” another person said. Dreams are formed of this stuff.
The 32-year-old’s motivation for being there is unknown, but it doesn’t seem plausible that he has altered his professional trajectory before Liverpool’s season-ending match against Southampton on Sunday.
More likely, his appearance was influenced by his past employment at the quick foot retailer. Van Dijk participated in the company’s Fun Football and Happy Readers events earlier this year, which promoted reading among kids.
Liverpool is a unique location, and Van Dijk expressed his gratitude by saying, “I love being able to give back to the community that supports us so passionately.” Like McDonald’s, I firmly think that every child should have the opportunity to play and learn. My family and I are passionate about this issue, which is why I’m here today.
“McDonald’s is assisting families by providing them with additional chances to receive free books and complimentary Fun Football coaching.”We distributed almost 3,000 books to kids today alone, and based on what I witnessed in the reading area and on the field, we might have some future authors and football players on our hands.
Additionally, he shared on Instagram, saying, “This week, I had a great time surprising the local kids at a @mcdonaldsuk @funfootballuk x #HappyReaders event. We played a little football, read a little bit, and watched a lot of smiles on their faces.
“I was there to support McDonald’s continued commitment to give families 2 million hours of #FunFootball and 10 million books annually, which is so important for the community.”
