Teenager missed out on global titleMingled with football stars before finalSet to take in tour of Old TraffordGetty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?

Littler has plenty to be proud of, having earned £200,000 as runner-up in his first major tournament, and he is preparing to head off on a tour of Old Trafford – as a big Manchester United fan. The talented teenager received plenty of messages of support from Red Devils stars of past and present during his thrilling run to the final at Ally Pally.
DID YOU KNOW?
He also met up with famous faces from Arsenal and Tottenham – including Aaron Ramsdale and James Maddison – and arch-rivals in north London have pointed fingers of blame in the direction of each other after seeing Littler suffer an agonising defeat in the East End of England’s capital.
WHAT NEXT FOR LITTLER?
Spurs and England star Maddison was among those in attendance for Littler’s eagerly-anticipated clash with Humphries – holding up a “North London is White” sign at one stage – and the expectation is that there will be many more finals to come for a youngster that has made quite a name for himself.
