Apart from his achievements on the field, it seems that Liverpool player Virgil van Dijk can also deliver a McDonald’s to your car.

In January 2018, the Dutch defender moved from Southampton to Liverpool for £75 million, and he has been involved in the community ever since. But, for those heading to Kirkby McDonald’s this week for some quick meal, the 6′ 5in center-back would not have been anticipated to be at the drive-thru window.

Van Dijk is seen helping the McDonald’s staff by guiding orders through the window in social media footage. Naturally, a crowd gathered in no time, with kids clinging to the glass in the hopes of catching a close-up of the Liverpool player.

After that, Van Dijk, dressed in jeans, sneakers, and a casual pullover, was given a platter of McFlurrys to share with the crowd. Fans who were confused by his McDonald’s appearance left a lot of comments on the internet.

“He succeeded in making Maccies’ ice cream maker work. A pundit remarked, “He really is capable of anything.” “Getting a Mcflurry off Virgil,” someone else remarked. These kinds of things give rise to dreams.

Virgil van Dijk was observed at work in Liverpool.

It’s unclear why the 32-year-old is there, but it doesn’t seem likely that he has changed his career path ahead of Liverpool’s match against Southampton on Sunday, which ends the season.

He probably looked that way because he had worked at the quick foot retailer before. Van Dijk took part in the company’s Happy Readers and Fun Football events earlier this year, which encouraged children to read.

Van Dijk said, “I love being able to give back to the community that supports us so passionately,” acknowledging that Liverpool is a special place. Like McDonald’s, I genuinely believe that all children should be able to play and learn. This subject is really important to my family and me, which is why I’m here today.

“By giving families more opportunities to get free books and free Fun Football coaching, McDonald’s is helping families.”Based on my observations in the reading area and on the field, we may be dealing with some future writers and football players. Today alone, we gave out about 3,000 books to children.

Additionally, he posted on Instagram, writing, “I had a great time at a @mcdonaldsuk @funfootballuk x #HappyReaders event this week, surprising the local kids.” We read a little, watched a lot of people smile, and played a little football.
