Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper gets the chance to prepare Old Trafford pitch for Man United’s clash with boss Jeremy’s favourite team Chelsea – before he gets his scissors out to cut the grass!

He’s used to mowing much longer grass while filming scenes for Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime – so it’s no surprise Kaleb Cooper struggled to adjust to his new surroundings after being asked to prepare the pitch at Old Trafford.

Man United lock horns with Chelsea on Wednesday night to begin a run of games that will be aired on the streaming giant across the festive period.

And to mark the occasion, Amazon decided to send a star of one of their top shows to ready the turf at the Theatre of Dreams.

Cooper – looked shocked himself to have been given the huge task as footage showed him walking out into the stadium before beginning to cut the fine grass with a pitch mower, before claiming, ‘I take more off my chin!’

‘The Premier League returns to Prime Video and they’ve employed me for the day to get the pitch ready,’ Cooper says in a voiceover.

He then admits to slacking on his mowing when working on the farm, saying: ‘I cut my grass when it’s, you know, there,’ before moving his hand above his head.

Cooper also pokes fun at his accuracy while laying out the pitch lines, acknowledging his had ‘a proper wiggle on’.

Not satisfied with his work towards the end of the clip, Cooper then puts his head on the turf before incredibly getting out a pair of scissors, before saying, ‘precision is key.’

Cooper is then spotted whizzing around the outside of Old Trafford on his traditional tractor on a memorable day for the 25-year-old.

The Red Devils – who also collapsed from two goals up to draw 3-3 against Galatasaray in midweek – have lost six times already this season as they come up againt a Chelsea side who also have a point to prove.

The Blues have also endured an up and down campaign and are struggling down in tenth place – but they got back to winning ways last time out with a 3-2 win over Brighton thanks to a brace from Enzo Fernandez and another goal from Levi Colwill.
