Late December and early January may be a time packed full of Football , but the attention of the nation has instead been on a 16-year-old darts player. Teenager Luke Littler captured the imagination of Sports fans during his run to the final of the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, displaying incredible skill with the arrows while fuelled by ham and cheese omelettes, pizzas and kebabs. As is the way when a new sports star appears out of nowhere, people quickly want to know absolutely everything about 'The Nuke'.

United had been spoiled for more than 20 years from Ferguson’s first trophy until his last. The great man was a constant for the best part of three decades that blurred transitions from era to era and so when the Red Devils tried to go on without him, it was tougher than anyone could have imagined.

United went on to throw money at successive manager s in Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho in a bid to avoid the same thing happening again. But that didn’t work either and neithe...
