Darts phenom Luke Littler has revealed the two pieces of advice Sir Alex Ferguson gave him during their meeting.

Littler shot to fame at the World Darts Championship, eventually losing 7-4 to world No.1 Luke Humphries in the final.

His fairytale run at Ally Pally, however, propelled him into the media spotlight as the 16-year-old sensation captured the nation's hearts.

Littler was recently invited to Old Trafford for Manchester United's Premier League showdown against Tottenham, which ended 2-2.

During his appearance, he met legendary manager Ferguson, who gave him two pieces of advice.

Little has revealed the 82-year-old told him to stay 'dedicated' and maintain a self-belief.

"Warrington Wolves invited me down and I went to the Manchester United game [last weekend] and met Sir Alex Ferguson," he said.

"To meet him was amazing and he said some lovely things to me about staying dedicated and believing in myself."

Man United fan Littler also shared his thoughts on the form of Erik ten Hag's team this season, revealing he hopes they sign Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.

"It's been difficult with the injuries we've got and everyone's saying Ten Hag out and this and that," he added.

"But I say give him time and when the players are all back fit let's see who he chooses.

"We just bought Rasmus Hojlund for loads of money but I'd probably get [Victor] Osimhen from Napoli."

Hojlund scored his second league goal in his side's draw against Spurs, having joined the club last summer for £72 million.

Despite Man United's big-money acquisition of the Dane, Littler also wants his side to snap up Osimhen.

The Red Devils, who lie in seventh place in the table, are currently on their winter break and return to action on January 28 in an FA Cup tie against Newport County.
