He's used to mowing lawns for much longer while filming scenes for Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime. So it's no surprise that Kaleb Cooper struggled to adapt to his new surroundings after being asked to prepare the pitch at Old Trafford.
Man United join Chelsea on Wednesday evening to start a series of matches that will be broadcast on the streaming giant over the festive period.
And to mark the occasion, Amazon decided to send a star from one of their top shows to prepare the grounds at the Theater of Dreams.
Cooper – himself appeared shocked at being handed the mammoth task, as footage showed him walking into the stadium before starting to cut the fine grass with a field mower, before claiming: 'I'm taking more of my chin!'
“The Premier League is returning to Prime Video and they've hired me for a day to prepare the pitch,” Cooper says in a voiceover.

He even tried to cut the Old Trafford pitch with scissors in the build-up to United vs Chelsea
He then admits that he didn't mow enough while working on the farm, saying, “I mow my grass when it's there,” before moving his hand above his head.
Cooper also jokes about his accuracy in plotting the field lines, acknowledging that he “could have had a good wiggle.”
Not satisfied with his work towards the end of the clip, Cooper then lays his head on the turf before incredibly pulling out a pair of scissors, before saying: 'precision is key.'
Cooper is then spotted zooming around the outside of Old Trafford on his traditional tractor on a memorable day for the 25-year-old.

Erik ten Hag's men are under pressure after their turbulent season continued with a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Newcastle on Saturday evening.
The Red Devils – who also collapsed after two goals to draw 3-3 with Galatasaray in midweek – have already lost six times this season as they face Chelsea who also have a point to prove.
The Blues have also experienced an up and down season and are struggling in tenth place, but last time they got back to winning ways with a 3-2 win over Brighton thanks to an Enzo Fernandez brace and another goal from Levi Colwill.
