Angelo Stiller addresses Luke Littler’s plea to Man United board

In a random twist of two sports, Darts world champion Luke Littler recently named VfB Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller as his “favorite German football player”. In an exclusive interview with Bundesliga, the former Bayern Munich midfielder was asked about the teenage sensation.

"That is great,” Stiller answered with delight when he was asked how he felt about Littler’s compliments. “Because he is also my favourite darts player. He is currently the best in the world, and when he says something like that, it is always nice. I have been to Ally Pally (a sports venue in north London). I really like darts, so it is great to hear something like that.”

In the same interview with DAZN in which he called Stiller his favorite player, the Englishman added, “Casemiro is leaving us. (Stiller) Come to United! We need help.”

The 25-year-old said it’s a pleasure to hear that, although it might be a bit annoying. “It’s part of the business that rumours arise, and things are said. You should not deal with it too much, and just do your own thing."

Stiller added he’s now more capable of dealing with the pressure that comes with being a public figure. "When you are more in focus, more things can hit you and affect you. At the beginning of my career, it affected me more. Now I have learned that it should not really matter to me.

“What is important is what the club thinks, what the coach thinks, and what my teammates think. That is the only thing that matters to me now. Because of social media, Instagram, Twitter, and everything else, everyone can form an opinion and say what they think. Everyone can act like an internet warrior, but you should not listen to that. It does not affect me personally."
