Luke Littler of England celebrates
Luke Littler has offered his take on Man United and the future of Alejandro Garnacho at the club among other topics
Darts star and Manchester United fan Luke Littler does not believe Alejandro Garnacho has a future at the Reds.
The winger looks set to leave Old Trafford this summer after a bust-up with United boss Ruben Amorim, which reached boiling point after the Europa League final. Garnacho has been linked with a move to Premier League rivals Chelsea in a swap deal with Blues forward Christopher Nkunku.
And Littler has pulled no punches when speaking about the Argentine winger after being asked about his opinion on Nkunku to United.
"I'm pretty sure we were looking into him last season or the season before, before he joined Chelsea," Littler told our colleagues at the Daily Star, via Speaking to Covers
"Obviously that's what they're looking into, a swap deal with Garnacho moving to Chelsea and Nkunku to us. But I think either way, Garnacho doesn't have a United future anymore. I think Nkunku can either play as a 10 or play as a 9."
Littler was also asked if Bryan Mbeumo was the man to take Amorim's side to the next level. The Manchester Evening News understands that United submitted an improved bid in excess of £60m. The Reds' initial £55m offer was rejected, with Brentford said to be aiming for around £63m.
He responded: "Yeah, obviously we wouldn't be offering more money if we didn't think he's going to fit in well.
"I think we're up to £60million, £65m as of today. But I'm sure we'll get him over the line.
"Obviously Matheus Cunha is a done deal from Wolves. But then even if we do get (Mbuemo) we'll need to start looking at the midfield and then obviously the back line."
