Luke Littler took the opportunity to rub salt in Jurgen Klopp’s wounds after Manchester United secured a dramatic victory over Liverpool on Sunday.
Amad Diallo’s extra-time winner secured a famous win for United against arch-rivals Liverpool and put Erik ten Hag’s side into the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
The defeat also ended Liverpool’s hopes of a historic quadruple in Klopp’s last season before departing Anfield.
And teenage darts sensation Littler, who is a boyhood United fan, didn’t miss out on the opportunity to take a dig at the departing German manager on social media.
In a since-deleted post on X, formerly Twitter, the 17-year-old shared a post which said: ‘What is the difference between Luke Littler and Jurgen Klopp? Littler has more trebles.’

Despite their FA Cup exit, however, Klopp does still have a chance to end his time at Liverpool with a treble.
The Reds have already lifted silverware this season after their Carabao Cup victory over Chelsea in February.
