Darts sensation Luke Littler has hit back at Neal Maupay after his recent comments regarding Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag's side were held to a 1-1 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, as Mason Mount's opener was cancelled out by Kristoffer Ajer sweeping finish.

After the game, Maupay typically took to social media as he poked fun at Scott McTominay regarding an image that circulated shortly after full-time.

The Frenchman took to X, formerly Twitter, to post a photo of McTominay clashing with himself in the capital and captioned it: "This fan was desperate for my shirt 😂."

Causing quite the stir, it was Littler who indeed poked fan at the former Everton striker shortly after over on Instagram adding how he believes the 27-year-old is often one to talk too much.

Responding via a different post, the teenager stated: "[He] talks more than he scores."

In response, Maupay hit back with: "Talk about a big fish" as he posted Littler's trademark fishing celebration.


The Bees were dominate throughout their performance and were unlucky not to cause yet another scalp against Ten Hag's men.

Having won 4-0 in the same fixture last season, Thomas Frank was left baffled as to how his side didn't come away with all three points in west London.

"There should have been only one winner in the game, that could only be us," said Frank during his post-match media duties.

"Then you go 1-0 down in the 96th minute and you think football is brutal.

"I almost lost faith in the football god but he gave a bit back. What a performance!

"We had our entire back-four out. We completely dominated the game and there could only be one winner.

"These players deserve so much praise. They are a fantastic group of humans to work with. We had the most shots ever in the Premier League. How we didn't win is incredible."
