Luke Littler recently visited Carrington to meet his Manchester United idols, and Alejandro Garnacho did something special for the teenager.
Littler has been soaking in the love since bursting onto the scene in the World Darts Championships by becoming the youngest-ever finalist, narrowly missing out to world number one, Luke Humphries.
The 17-year-old has since proven his record-breaking debut was no fluke, by dominating the first World Series event of the year, taking home his first PDC title in Bahrain.
Due to his meteoric rise, there is no surprise Littler has been popping up here there and everywhere, from linking up with James Maddison at Spurs to being in the ring with KSI at Misfits.

Most recently the teenager visited the Manchester United training ground and met all of his footballing idols and spent some time with them after training.
Littler has made no secret about his affiliation with United, posting messages of support to his 1.1 million Instagram followers before games, and linking up with the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.
As the players were coming in from training Littler was waiting to greet them and managed to work his way through the entire squad which must have been a dream for the boyhood fan.
It was Alejandro Garnacho who stood out, however, as the fellow teenager had something special to give Littler.
The Argentine international gave Littler one of his shirts, saying: "It's for you, open yeah?"
Littler looked visibly quite starstruck by the gesture and thanked Garnacho before the United winger offered to sign the jersey for the Brit.
The gesture has caught the eye of fans on social media, with Garnacho's willingness to go above and beyond to welcome Littler getting a lot of praise.
Garnacho himself has burst onto the scene at a very young age, as the 19-year-old has now established himself as a regular starter for Erik ten Hag.
The youngster has five goals so far this season, including his outrageous bicycle kick at Goodison Park.
