Darts star Luke Littler has issued a telling admission when asked about Manchester United's hopes for success.

Littler, who was in attendance as his hometown rugby club Warrington Wolves took on the Catalan Dragons on Friday night, was quizzed on which side he would rather see life silverware.

The 18-year-old star was offered a touching gesture as Wolves renamed their home ground, which is usually The Halliwell Jones Stadium, to the The Luke Littler stadium for the one-off occasion.

'The Nuke' was interviewed while walking around the pitch at half-time by Sky Sports and admitted even he couldn't turn down the offer of his beloved Wolves winning the Super League, compared to more success for United.

"Ah, that's so tough," he said. "I've seen Sir Alex Ferguson's last league title, so I'd have to say Wire winning the league." Littler is an avid supporter of Warrington's hometown side and he began by expressing his love for the team just a few miles down the road.

"It means a lot," he added. "For myself, what I've done over the past 12 and 18 months. The support from the lads and all the staff and everyone at Warrington Wolves. Tonight's going to be a very special night."

He added: "This is where I grew upl it's the local rugby team. I've been here for years, in the south stand, cheering the boys on next to the drum. To have the stadium named after me for one night only, it's going to be a big night."

Littler may hope for similar fortunes for United this afternoon when they take on Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League. Ruben Amorim's side have, once again dwindled, as of late - and you can follow along with all the live action in our dedicated blog.
