Littler became the youngest-ever player to hit a perfect leg in a major senior event.

It came just 16 days after reaching the World Championship final and picking up a cool £200,000.

But in a visit to Old Trafford a week ago he admitted that their comeback win against Atalanta in October 2021 was his favourite night watching the Reds.

Littler said: “We were 2-0 down to Atalanta in the Champions League.

“We came back and won.

“Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford and then I saw Ronaldo score the winner.”

Littler was also asked, ironically, whether he’d rather score a hat-trick or hit a nine-darter and he replied: “Nine-darter.”

Just five days later he would hit his perfect leg in Bahrain against Nathan Aspinall.

He was also asked which other dart player would be good in a football team, he said: “Dirk van Duijvenbode, very tall put him at the back.”

Littler also reckoned that the best darts nickname for Rashford would be “goalscorer” and Scott McTominay “leader”.

The new oche hero met Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford along with Bruno Fernandes.

He also revealed that David Beckham had slid into his DMs and told him: “Well done, once a red, always a red.”
