Watch: Rey Mysterio previews Man Utd’s clash with Liverpool
Football clubs are coming up with increasingly inventive ways to hype up fixtures – but Manchester United took the biscuit by asking Rey Mysterio to preview their clash with Liverpool.
The fierce rivals meet at Old Trafford in the early kick-off on Saturday as the two sides battle for second place in the Premier League.
Perhaps more importantly, there is also local pride and bragging rights to play for.
With a huge amount of history and a number of explosive clashes between United and Liverpool, the hosts bizarrely asked WWE wrestler Mysterio to preview the match.
We’re not entirely sure why, but we’re pretty glad they did.
Welcome to fortress Old Trafford.
