"World darts champion Luke Littler was spotted celebrating Manchester United's 4-1 victory at Wolves with the away fans on Monday - but how did he get a ticket? It is not uncommon for celebrity football fans to be captured by cameras among the crowds on matchdays. Oasis' Noel Gallagher was at Craven Cottage for Manchester City's recent 5-4 win over Fulham, while England legend Alan Shearer regularly enjoys a trip with the Newcastle faithful."
"Littler posted a picture at the game with United's director of fan engagement, Richard McGagh, sparking debate around the club's away ticket allocations. He had previously posted on Instagram that he wanted to buy three tickets and was "happy" to pay over the face value of 30 for each one. The 18-year-old received last-minute tickets from Adidas and later thanked the German sports goods manufacturer in a social media post."
Luke Littler, the 18-year-old world darts champion and lifelong Manchester United fan, attended United's 4-1 away win at Wolves among the travelling supporters. He had sought to buy three tickets previously, offering to pay above the 30 face value, and later received last-minute tickets from Adidas, which he publicly thanked. Adidas, as the club's official kit supplier, is allocated a small number of tickets to distribute to staff or guests. Fans noted Littler stood near United's head of fan engagement, prompting questions about away-ticket allocations while club officials confirmed privately the ticket came from Adidas.
