Luke Littler fires savage three-word dig at Douglas Luiz after Man Utd’s dramatic late win over Aston Villa
LUKE LITTLER savaged Douglas Luiz with a cheeky dig after Manchester United beat Aston Villa.
The Villa midfielder was at the centre of several key incidents in the second half, including scoring an equaliser.
After finding the net Luiz shimmied his shoulders in celebration as he took a knee, leaving Rio Ferdinand baffled.
The Brazilian later explained he was getting into the carnival spirit – but Littler was not too amused.
The Manchester United fan aimed a dig at Luiz after Scott McTominay headed in a winner to hand the Red Devils all three points.
Darts sensation Littler shared a photo of Luiz on social media alongside the caption: “Karma is real.”
Luiz, 25, also had a flare-up with Rasmus Hojlund as the United goalscorer was substituted.
He felt Hojlund was taking too long to leave the field of play so tried to hurry the striker up, with the two going face-to-face.
Luiz was also accused of aiming his direction towards Raphael Varane as a provocation, but Erik ten Hag played down talk of a dispute between the pair.
The United boss said: “I don’t have an opinion about that. I haven’t spoken to the players. I don’t think it is important.”

Littler, 17, is an avid United fan and recently showed some of his idols his skills as he hit a 180 at Carrington.
Afterwards he admitted he was more nervous to meet United’s stars than he is when stepping up to the oche.
He said: “It was crazy to meet my idols.
“I have been watching them for a very long time.
“It was great to get that opportunity. More nervous than the world final? Yeah.”
