Phil Taylor has backed Luke Littler to break his record of 16 world titles but says the 17-year-old will have to overcome “Man Utd syndrome” to do it.

Littler became the youngest player to win the World Championship at Alexandra Palace earlier this month to complete a brilliant debut year on tour.
