Littler also leads the way in the Premier League as he looks to defend last term's crown.
But he has now shown he has a talent for set-pieces in a completely different sport.
Manchester United fan Littler revealed his dead-ball skills while taking a penalty in a Sunday League game.
He turned out for Winton Wanderers Yanited, an Under-18s side managed by YouTuber and Baller League boss AngryGinge.
And Littler proved he was not feeling any pressure as he stepped up to take a penalty.
The ace first revealed that he is a left-footer, despite throwing darts with his right hand.
But he then impressively scored his spot-kick to the raucous cheers of teammates and the crowd.
The ball did take a bobble on its way past the goalkeeper though.
And some fans questioned how Littler had actually managed to find the target.
One said: 'How did that go in?'

One noted: 'Love this, his shirt number is 180, what a legend.'
Another boomed: 'What can't this lad do?'
One added: 'Are you Gareth Bale in disguise?'

'From my time here, I had a taste of how special this club is, the expectation, the passion and the history,' he told the club's website. 'Now, as I return, I'm determined to bring success back, for the supporters, the players, and everyone inside this club. 'There's a lot to be done, but the goal is clear: win matches, win trophies and give Rangers fans a team that they can be proud of.' ✍️ We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Russell Martin as Head Coach of our men's first team on a three-year deal.

Russell was the standout candidate.'
