Tottenham joke Luke Littler has changed who he supports after Manchester United thrashing

Tottenham hit the mark with a joke aimed at Luke Littler on social media after humiliating Manchester United.

The darts sensation is an avid Red Devils supporter and will have felt as gutted as any other supporter following their 3-0 defeat to Spurs at Old Trafford on Sunday.

A cardinal sin of a football fan is to switch allegiance in the face of disappointment, something Tottenham jokingly suggested Littler had done after the match.

The North London team shared an image of a notification received on Instagram saying that Littler's verified account had started following them.

While the timing could have been a coincidence, the Spurs couldn't resist poking fun at the teenager.

Writing in X, Spurs said: “Ooop. Have you finally seen the light, @LukeTheNuke180?”

As you can imagine, Tottenham fans enjoyed the banter on social media.

One fan wrote: “He knows who the winning team is.”

Another said: “Loved what he saw on Sunday,” while a third added: “The manager has been cooking for the last two games and I'm loving it.”

Littler's loyalty to Man United probably cannot be doubted after silencing rival fans in both Liverpool and Leeds during their Premier League Darts exits earlier this year.

He covered his ear to The booing fans at Leeds.while Littler He gestured '2-0' with his fingers in Liverpool following the Reds' defeat to arch-rivals Everton that week.
