Alejandro Garnacho made Luke Littler’s day as the teenage darts sensation visited his heroes at Carrington training ground.
Since his stunning run to the final of the PDC World Darts Championship, Littler seems to be popping up in all kinds of places.
After being pictured with James Maddison at the Tottenham Hostpur Stadium, he was also spotted with KSI at a Misfits boxing event.
Now the future darts star has visited Man United players at their training pitch and even practiced his sport alongside them.
Yesterday a video emerged showing Littler scoring a 180 in the first attempt to beat Harry Maguire’s nine-darter score of 171.

But what will be even more special for the boyhood United fan was how Argentine striker Garnacho presented him with a jersey.
Littler looked visibly overjoyed with the gift, and it was a fantastic gesture from the club.
The youngster rose to fame after reaching the World Cup final at Ally Pally, where he lost 7-4 to Humphries.
Following his epic journey to the final, he was included in the eight-man line-up for the Premier League Darts tournament, along with some of the biggest names in the sport.
He made history on January 19 when he won the Bahrain Masters by beating three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen to claim his first senior PDC title.
On his way to that victory, he hit an excellent nine-darter in his second match after the World Championship, stunning opponent Nathan Aspinall.

He will be back in action this week when he takes part in the Dutch Masters on Friday and Saturday.
After his recent trip to Old Trafford, Littler said: “Unbelievable, I met Sir Alex Ferguson and had him sign my shirt for me,” Littler told MUTV. ‘I spoke to him and I was also with (boxer) Tommy Fury.
‘It was good to get me in a pretty good place and I got to wear some decent clothes for once, instead of just track pants!’
