Almost all the world's top players are coming to Rosmalen from May 24 to 26 for the Dutch Darts Championship, but chances are Luke Littler will miss this Euro Tour tournament in the Netherlands.

Indeed, the 17-year-old teenage sensation had made a deal with his management around the Austrian Darts Open. ''I had agreed with my manager that if I perform well on the Euro Tours, I may skip a Euro Tour soon to go watch Manchester United.''
Littler ended up doing extremely well in Austria. Indeed, 'The Nuke' managed to win the Euro Tour tournament in Graz, garnering £30,000 in prize money for the various rankings.
He hinted after his win over Krzysztof Ratajski at possibly attending Manchester United's cup final. Littler's favorite club plays in the FA Cup final against Manchester City on Saturday, May 25. That date thus falls exactly within the tournament dates of the Dutch Darts Championship, making it seem unlikely that Littler will make his appearance there.
