Immediately after the match, United fans celebrated the win with Littler as they realised that it would mean that, regardless of what happens for United this season, there will be a trophy presented at Old Trafford this season.
Writing on social media platform X, one fan wrote: "THERE WILL BE A TROPHY AT OLD TRAFFORD THIS YEAR AFTER ALL!"
While another fan revealed: "I'm adding every Littler major to United’s trophy count."
And one fan joked: "There’s only 1 thing that can stop Littler now.
"Becoming Man Utd manager!"
Speaking after his victory at the Alexandra Palace on Friday, Littler told Sky Sports: "I can't believe it. We both played so well.
"I've said in interviews that I needed to get off to a quick start tonight and that's what I did.
"Everyone dreams of lifting this trophy. You've got to get through a tough field. I can't believe it.
"I keep saying it but that first game against Ryan Meikle [in round two] was the one that really mattered, and throughout I've just settled.
"At 2-0 up [in the final set] I started getting nervous but I said to myself to just relax. I was throwing for the match and to get it over and done with then was special."
When asked what could be next for him this year, Littler remained coy.
"Anything. I could end 2025 winning absolutely nothing, but I've picked up the best," he added
"I want to get more than 10 titles this year, but if I end 2025 with nothing, I've picked the big one up."
