Luke Littler aims dig at Harry Maguire when revealing which players are in his EA FC Ultimate Team

Luke Littler has taken a hilarious dig at Harry Maguire whilst being quizzed on his EAFC Ultimate Team.

The 17-year-old was in action again in the Premier League on Thursday night, where he was knocked out by Michael Van Gerwen at the semi-final stage in Newcastle.

Littler has only been in professional darts since the World Championship over Christmas, but the teenage sensation is already evolving his game as fans noticed he has changed his throwing style.

The 17-year-old currently sits third in the Premier League on seven points with the top four going through to the play-off stage.

Despite playing in multiple events this week, Littler has made no secret that gaming and EA FC 24 remains one of his priorities in life.

Littler has made hundreds of thousands of pounds already this year, and in a recent interview with The Times, he opened up on how he is spending his newfound wealth.

“My ultimate team? That’s what I spend my money on,” Littler said.

The teenager then began to list his favourite players to use in the game: “Petr Cech, he’s good…"

The interviewer then challenged Littler on his choice, given his well-documented allegiance to Man United.

"He’s Chelsea, Luke. Aren’t you supposed to be a United man?" The interviewer questioned.

Littler jokingly responded: “This’ll go down well, then: Kompany and Van Dijk at the back. Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, Zola, Thierry Henry, Kane, Essien.

"You’ve got to spend money to get that team.

“That’s what I’ve always done. When I win money, I just treat myself, buy some packs, get some good players," Littler stated proudly.

The World Championship runner-up then took a surprising dig at Harry Maguire, more specifically Harry Maguire on EAFC.

“Maguire’s got about 40 pace. Sprint speed, he's not quick,” Littler joked.

Littler and Maguire recently had it out on the dartboard, with the England international losing to the teenager during his visit to Carrington.

Maguire's ability on the board was actually rather surprising, with the 30-year-old scoring 171 in a 9-dart challenge.
