Luke Littler has been told to 'stick to darts' after revealing his combined Manchester United and Liverpool line-up.

Littler will be eagerly awaiting the clash between United and Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, as Erik ten Hag's side look to replicate the dramatic FA Cup win they recorded against the Reds before the international break.

The score finished 4-3 to the Red Devils in the quarter-final, thanks to a late winner from substitute Amad Diallo to fire his side into the semi-final against Coventry City at Wembley Stadium.

Littler is a big United fan and has even been invited to the Trafford Training Centre to meet the players and attend games following his rise to fame in darts.

However, even he admitted not every player from the United squad would make a combined line-up of the two sides, ahead of the clash at Old Trafford this weekend.

Speaking to BBC, Littler was asked to name his combined XI, when being presented with players from each position.

"I hate to say it but Alisson," the Darts star said when asked to choose between the Brazilian and United shot-stopper Andre Onana. The 17-year-old would then go on to choose Diogo Dalot over Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, based on their individual performances this season.

He later chose Virgil van Dijk over Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire over England U21 Jarell Quansah and Andy Robertson over Luke Shaw to complete the defence.

Littler then explained he would take Kobbie Mainoo over Wataru Endo 'all day' but admitted Dominik Szoboszlai would make the team over Scott McTominay.

Bruno Fernandes was selected over World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister, while his Argentina teammate Alejandro Garnacho also got the nod over Luis Diaz.

"Probably go Salah," Littler continued when faced with the decision of Marcus Rashford or the Egyptian international, before he finished by choosing Rasmus Hojlund over Darwin Nunez as the starting striker.

In response to the video, one fan wrote: "He should stick to playing darts." While another echoed the claim by adding: "Stick to darts Luke."

Others did rush to his defence though, as someone agreed by saying: "Good ball knowledge Luke."

Littler's combined XI: Alisson, Dalot, Van Dijk, Maguire, Robertson, Mainoo, Fernandes, Szoboszlai, Garnacho, Salah, Nunez.
