Having shown his darts skills in Luke Littler’s presence, Harry Maguire now knows his way around the oche.

During a meet-and-greet with the 2024 World Darts Championship runner-up, the Manchester United defender confidently rose to the challenge. While ‘The Nuke’ didn’t require much time to completely destrоy his opponents, ‘Slabhead’ nevertheless managed to astonish by hitting the treble 20 on one of his nine tries.

Littler, a United supporter, competed in a darts match against Maguire and Christian Eriksen in a smaller, more intimate venue than Alexandra Palace. With Rasmus Hojlund, Tom Heaton, Mason Mount, and Victor Lindelof of the Red Devils in attendance, he probably would have been eager to host.

After scoring 171 from nine attempts, Maguire, 30, basked in the ovation as he landed a flawless dаrt. After Littler stepped forward to determine how many throws it would take him to surpass Eriksen’s total of 136, the score was elevated.

The Nuke effortlessly lasered in three treble 20s, therefore the answer was three. And beating up on some current stars from one’s favorite club is the perfect way to celebrate one’s 17th birthday!

“Maguire cooked [to be fair],” gushed one spectator in admiration of the England defender, who has taken a lot of heat for his play as of late. “Maguire held it down [not gonna lie].” Another social media user commented, “And they weren’t the only ones.”

One supporter even went so far as to sаy, “Dаmn Maguire is better at darts than he is at football.” This led many to speculate that Maguire would be interested in making darts his full-time profession. “Harry is good at this,” a fourth respondent said. What about a change in profession?

An invitation to one of the most prestigious tournaments of the year landed Littler in the Premier League Darts, where he is now getting ready to make his debut. On the first day of the Premier League in Cardiff, at the Utilita Arena, he will meet up with Luke Humphries, against whom he finished second at Ally Pally earlier this month.
