Teenage darts prodigy Luke Littler has set his sights on an unexpected career move – playing for Manchester United. The 17-year-old, who has taken the darts world by storm, revealed his football ambitions in a recent interview, leaving fans divided.
From the Oche to Old Trafford?
Littler, who became the youngest player to reach the PDC World Darts Championship final earlier this year, told reporters he dreams of swapping his darts for football boots. "I'd love to play for United one day," the Warrington-born star confessed. "I'm a decent footballer and I've always loved the game."
Fan Reactions Split
The announcement has sparked heated debate among sports fans. While some have praised Littler's ambition, others have suggested he should stick to what he knows best. One fan tweeted: "Stick to darts, mate – you're world class at that!" while another wrote: "Never say never – Rooney was scoring Premier League goals at 16!"
Manchester United have yet to comment on Littler's remarks, but the story has certainly captured the imagination of sports fans across the country. Whether this remains a pipe dream or develops into something more serious remains to be seen.
For now, Littler continues to focus on his darts career, with several major tournaments coming up this season. But his revelation has certainly added an intriguing subplot to what promises to be an exciting sporting summer.
