😂 Lennart Karl to Manchester United? Darts world champion reveals 2026 wish | OneFootball

Luke Littler was crowned Darts World Champion once again on Saturday evening. In the World Championship final, the 18-year-old prodigy gave the Dutchman Gian van Veen no chance with a clear 7:1 victory.

After his triumph, Littler caused a stir not only in the darts world but also among many football fans. In an interview with 'Sport1', the self-confessed Manchester United fan spoke—quite unexpectedly—about Bayern jewel Lennart Karl.

When asked about the comparison with Germany’s record champions, who have dominated for years, Littler shared a little behind-the-scenes story: “The Bayern Munich player, how do I say his first name? Karl? Lennart Karl? He wrote to me in the third or fourth round. He said something like, ‘Keep it up.’ I’ve been following him ever since.”

When expert Max Hopp followed up by asking whether Karl should just move to Manchester United, Littler grinned: “If he wants to, of course he can come. Best if he brings Harry Kane along with him.”

Littler burst out laughing, clearly aware of how unrealistic that idea is. But dreaming is still allowed—especially as a newly crowned world champion.
