HOME VIDEO footage shows Luke Littler playing darts as a toddler in an England shirt.

However, fans cannot believe the player whose name is on the back of his shirt.

The teenager darts prodigy is set to take on Luke Humphries in the PDC World Darts Championship final.

Littler booked his place in the showpiece match by beating Rob Cross 6-2 on Tuesday night.

He is now just one game away from lifting the Sid Waddell trophy and scooping £500,000 in prize money.

An avid Manchester United supporter, fans were surprised to see Littler wearing Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard's shirt.

One reacted on social media by writing: "Littler wearing a Gerrard shirt when he was younger but supports Manchester United."

Littler has made no secret of his love for the Red Devils during his run to the final at Alexandra Palace.
