TOUR GUIDE LUKE

LUKE LITTLER'S favourite Christmas presents included a pair of tickets for a tour at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium.

And the boy wonder of darts, who is now just 7-1 to win the Paddy Power PDC World Championship, smiled and said: "Hopefully I'll show them how to win a trophy."

'Luke the Nuke' is a United fan and after the latest chapter of his Ally Pally fairy tale the mushroom cloud of congratulatory messages on his social media channels included a flurry of pats on the back from players in the Red Devils' Under-21s squad as well as a photo opportunity with United midfielder Donny van de Beek.

At 16, Littler has reached the fourth round and a guaranteed minimum payday of £35,000.

United have won just one trophy in seven seasons and when the Warrington whizzkid takes his guided stroll around the Theatre of Dreams, they had better hope some of his stardust invigorates Erik ten on Hag's underachievers.
