Darts prodigy Luke Littler has set tongues wagging with his bold prediction about Manchester United's fortunes. The 17-year-old sensation, who's taken the darting world by storm, believes the Red Devils are on the brink of something special.
A Surprising Forecast from the Oche
While known for his precision on the dartboard, Littler has shown he's equally confident making calls about football. "I think Manchester United will win the Premier League in the next three years," the teenage star declared, showing the same fearless attitude that's made him a household name in darts.
Why United?
Littler, who recently signed with Manchester United's official darts partner Target, explained his reasoning: "They've got the right manager in Erik ten Hag and some exciting young players coming through. The club just needs time to build." His comments come as United prepare for a crucial summer transfer window.
Football Connections Run Deep
The Warrington-born star isn't just making random predictions - he's actually turned down approaches from professional football clubs in the past. "I had trials with Crewe and Stoke when I was younger," Littler revealed, "but darts was always my first love."
His football knowledge clearly runs deep, having grown up watching the Premier League and even appearing on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football earlier this season.
Darts World Buzzing
The darts community has been quick to react to Littler's prediction, with many praising his confidence while others question his football expertise. What's undeniable is that when Luke Littler sets his sights on a target - whether it's a dartboard or a football prediction - people take notice.
As Manchester United fans cling to any sign of hope after a turbulent season, they'll be hoping their new darts ambassador's prediction proves as accurate as his arrow-throwing.
