Luke Littler gives his verdict on Erik ten Hag's future at Man United ahead of their FA Cup final clash... as teenage darts sensation admits he's expecting an 'interesting' summer at the club

Luke Littler has given his verdict on Erik ten Hag's future at Manchester United and admitted he expects an 'interesting' summer at the club. 

Ten Hag’s position is under intense scrutiny as he prepares to face Manchester City in the FA Cup final after United had their worst-ever Premier League finish and were bottom of their Champions League group.

Littler, a well-known Red Devils supporter, has is own Premier League darts final coming up but still had time to weigh in on the Dutchman's situation.

Speaking on The Football Museum Podcast, Littler was asked whether he was excited for the future at United, to which he replied: 'I am. Especially for the summer, it's going to be interesting to see who we bring in. 

He was then asked whether he was 'ten Hag in' and he replied: 'I want to keep him, yeah. I just don't see anyone who could come in. 

'Obviously we've had people saying [Gareth] Southgate and Graham Potter. I've seen Potter turned down Ajax - so I just hope nothing comes to us! But I'm definitely ten Hag in for next season'.  

There is mounting pressure on the Dutchman at Old Trafford and speculation is growing further due to the recent availability of Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentine left his role as Chelsea manager after just a year in charge on Tuesday evening, with the club confirming he had parted way via mutual consent.

Pochettino was strongly linked with the job at Old Trafford before Ten Hag was appointed at the start of the 2022 season, but missed out on the role.

Former United chiefs Richard Arnold and John Murtough are said to have spoken to the former Tottenham manager about taking the role, but instead opted for Ten Hag.

Graham Potter, Roberto De Zerbi and Kieran McKenna are also among those who could take charge should Sir Jim Ratcliffe move Ten Hag on.

Littler, meanwhile, recently Littler joked that 'Arsenal fans are bottle jobs' ahead of his Premier League Darts final. 

Speaking to SPORTBible, he was asked whether he'd be safe in London from football fans directing jokes about Man United towards him. 

'I'm not really thinking about London,' he said, when asked whether he was expecting any stick. 

'If there's any Arsenal fans, they're bottle jobs,' he added before going on to take a swipe at Chelsea and Tottenham's difficulties. 

'Spurs, they just can't talk. And then Chelsea have just lost their manager.'
