MANCHESTER UNITED fan Luke Littler taunted jeering Leeds fans in their own backyard.
The world champion got the heated reception he expected on Premier League Night 14.

The Nuke appeared to enjoy the ‘banter’ in ‘rival’ city Leeds
Leeds supporters took time off from celebrating a return to a different type of Premier League to give the Nuke some abuse.
But on his way to a 6-4 comeback win over Nathan Aspinall in his opener, the 18-year-old took a brutal opportunity to get his own back.
The Warrington whizkid sunk Double 10 to level at four legs apiece – then turned to baying fans at The First Direct Arena in Leeds.
Littler wore a cold look with the hint of a smirk.
He then curled up his lips as if crying – and then pretended to rub tears from his eyes.
After turning back, Littler produced a half-smile – suggesting he is happy to give and take banter.
Not surprisingly – given he was in the town of one of United’s old rivals – his antics divided the option of fans.
“That’s poor form,” posted one viewer.

“Nice one,” responded another.
Littler had gone into the evening promising to give as good as he gets.
He said: “It depends on how the fans react.
“I don’t want to say I have secured top spot yet in the Premier League.
“But like the thing in Newcastle and Liverpool, I will always give it back to them.”
