Luke Littler pleads for Man Utd to bring back club icon in deleted Instagram post during Europa League win over Viktoria Plzen

Premier League

Manchester City

Manchester United

<p>Not long after Andre Onana <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/andre-onana-blunder-man-utd-goalkeeper-woeful-pass-gifts-viktoria-plzen-goal-fall-behind-europa-league-clash/bltcac0a4886b6842bd" target="_blank">made a mistake</a> for the Czech Republic team's opener, 17-year-old Littler took to social media to express his displeasure at the situation. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luke-littler-football-team-support-darts-player-favourite/bltfca4c1e28eafff2b" target="_blank">The United fan</a> appeared to want former goalkeeper David de Gea back at Old Trafford, before deleting the Instagram story.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The now-deleted Instagram story, which featured a photo of the United game, reads: "Bring back Dave," with a gloves emoji.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Luke Littler on Instagram <a href="https://t.co/SYFbF1mckV">pic.twitter.com/SYFbF1mckV</a></p>— utdreport (@utdreport) <a href="https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1867284582011228346?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 12, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT LUKE LITTLER SAID

<p>United went on to win the game <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-viktoria-plzen-bruno-fernandes-rasmus-hojlund-andre-onana/blt8d89082105024fba" target="_blank">2-1 in a comeback victory</a>, one that put them into a strong position to reach the last 16 of the Europa League. But this game raised questions about whether Onana is good enough to be the Red Devils' first-choice keeper. The Cameroon international joined United from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023 for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-new-no-1-andre-onana-completes-gbp48m-transfer-inter-david-de-gea/blt7a64753e0defd351" target="_blank">£48 million ($62m)</a> but he has made a number of high-profile errors since then. Even though his form has improved this season, a couple of mistakes have led some to call for De Gea - who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/david-de-gea-goodbye-goalkeeper-confirms-manchester-united-departure-emotional-message-fans/blt7975ecf2d514ed78" target="_blank">left the club in 2023 after a 12-year stint</a> - to return to the Premier League giants.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>With 34-year-old De Gea now at Fiorentina, Onana, 28, is very much United's number one keeper. He will hope to improve his form against Manchester City on Sunday. </p>
