Ruben Amorim demands Man Utd players to copy 'unstoppable' Luke Littler after 17-year-old Red Devils fan's PDC World Darts Championship triumph

17-year-old Littler, who is a boyhood United fan, created history on Friday as he became the youngest player to win the PDC World Championship, beating the Netherlands' Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final at London's Alexandra Palace.

The youngster's triumph at the World Championship has created quite a stir across the UK and has also reportedly inspired Red Devils boss Amorim. Per The Sun, the Portuguese has used Littler's grit and self-belief as an example to motivate his players ahead of Sunday's trip to Premier League leaders Liverpool.

A source told The Sun, "Ruben is well aware of the Herculean task in front of him and his players - not just today [Sunday]. He wants the team to start channelling the same self-belief Luke showed in Friday’s world final. Luke was unstoppable because he was determined to win.

"The players need to show the same courage against Liverpool. They’re all pretty close to Luke and know victory against Liverpool would cap the most memorable weekend for their most famous fan."

After facing their rivals on Sunday, Amorim's men will be next seen in action in the FA Cup on January 12 with a trip to Arsenal.
