LUKE LITTLER has waded into the social media spat between Neal Maupay and Scott McTominay.
Wind-up merchant Maupay, 27, had a pop at McTominay after yesterday’s 1-1 draw between Brentford and Manchester United.

RexThe Frenchman posted a snap of himself tussling with the Scotland international, captioning it: “The fan was desperate for my shirt.”
When Sportbible referenced Maupay’s post on Instagram, Man Utd fan Littler took a pop back at the striker.
The darts sensation, 17, commented: “Talks more than he scores.”
Fans loved “The Nuke”‘s comment, with one replying: “My GOAT”.
While a second wrote: “yes lukeeeee.”
And a third added: “you legend!”
Maupay then diverted his attention to Littler, posting a video of the teenager and writing: “Talk about a big fish.”
One fan responded to his tweet: “Nah he’s even coming for 17 year old darts players now someone stop this guy.”

A second wrote: “You are beefing with a kid.”
Last month Maupay addressed his wind-up antics during an interview with The Times.
He said: “People say footballers are boring, then all of a sudden a player does this and everyone goes, ‘Why, Neal?’ ‘He’s the most disliked player.’ Blah blah blah.
“For me, football is a game, it’s entertainment.
“I’m just having fun and, on the pitch, I’m trying to do everything to win.
“If I can say something that puts you off or makes you overthink and make a mistake, I’ll do it.
“People don’t realise how much tension and emotion is involved at the highest level.
“I think it works quite well and if I can get a reaction, great.”
Maupay has netted six goals in 27 Prem appearances this season.
Littler, meanwhile, has had a brilliant week.
The darts wonderkid grabbed his maiden Premier League win in Belfast on Thursday night.
He beat Nathan Aspinall 6-4 to climb to second in the standings.
