The Runcorn protege punched his ticket to the Round of 16 by beating Campbell on Wednesday in his debut tournament and paid homage to his favourite United star Rashford.

The schoolboy pointed his finger on his head like the forward does every time he scores a goal for the Red Devils.

Littler shared a picture of the pose on Instagram and accompanied it with a photo of the England international doing the same.

The teenager’s post attracted over 17,000 likes and a raft of comments from his 55,000 followers.

One fan posted: “Rashford copying Luke it seems.”

Another commented: “What a boy.”

A third wrote: “Well played what a performance.”

This fan said: “Go on Luke, lad smashed it.”

And that one stated: “Keep it up mate.”

Littler broke down in tears after his latest PDC World Darts Championship victory won him a whopping £35,000 and told his mum: “The dream is on.”

And he then tucked into a late-night kebab, dreaming of the £500,000 top prize.
