Luke Littler had a special experience at Manchester United last weekend, visiting Old Trafford for a media day ahead of Night Nine of the 2026 Premier League Darts in Manchester. The 19-year-old superstar, a huge fan of the Red Devils, stepped onto the pitch at the 'Theatre of Dreams' and shared the moment widely on his social channels. "Had worse media days, what a day!" Littler wrote on his Instagram story alongside a selfie from the pitch.
During his visit, Littler walked across the pitch, took photos, and fulfilled the club's media duties. In one post, he added: "No place like home. Media done now, looking forward to tomorrow night." The young darter, who has met several United players before, combined his passion for the club with his status as world champion, sparking plenty of reactions from his followers.
While the media experience was a highlight, Littler's priority remains his sport. He is currently leading the Premier League Darts and is targeting his fourth nightly victory in the space of five weeks on Thursday. His quarter-final against Gian van Veen at Manchester Arena is a chance to underline his champion status. "It feels great to be here, but the real work awaits tomorrow," said Littler as he prepared for his match.
Littler's visit to Old Trafford illustrates a trend where darts and football increasingly intersect, with top darters regularly invited to football clubs. For the young Englishman, it was a day full of fun and media attention, and a reminder of his two passions: darts and Manchester United.
