Luke Littler gives his take on 'weird' Marcus Rashford transfer saga as darts sensation & die-hard Man Utd fan shows off PDC World Championship trophy at Old Trafford

Littler became the youngest-ever PDC World Champion at the age of 17 as he triumphed over three-time winner, and previous youngest champion Michael van Gerwen with a 7-3 victory at Alexandra Palace in London. The teenager is a die-hard Manchester United fan and was allowed to parade his PDC World Championship trophy at Old Trafford ahead of the Red Devils' Premier League clash against Brighton.

This season, Littler has not had much to cheer about as a fan of Manchester United, who have failed to gain momentum under new boss Ruben Amorim and are in real danger of being drawn into a relegation dogfight. Rashford's future has also been a big talking point, with the United academy graduate expected to leave the club this month after being frozen out of the team by Amorim. Litter opened up on the 'weird' transfer saga when speaking to Sky Sports at half-time in United's 3-1 loss to Brighton.

Littler also touched on rumours linking Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho with exits when asked about Rashford's situation, saying: "Personally, I don't want to see anyone leave. If Marcus leaves, it'll feel weird. I've seen Marcus make his debut in the Europa League and then against Arsenal. With Kobbie and Garnacho, it won't feel right."

United's 3-1 defeat to Fabian Hurzeler's Brighton leaves them pinned in the bottom half of the Premier League standings. The Red Devils will be back in action when they take on Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday.
