West Ham's Michail Antonio looks ahead to their match against Manchester United in the style of Hammers fan Triple H.

West Ham forward Michail Antonio channelled his inner Triple H in response to a rallying cry from "The Game" ahead of the Premier League season.

"I'm not going to lie, this is a big week and it is game time," the WWE legend said.

"West Ham kick off the season at Manchester United. It doesn't get tougher than that. But every Hammers fan knows, victory is sweeter when it is hard earned."

And it was a similar message from Antonio, backed up by the iconic soundtrack of Triple H's theme song - Motorhead's The Game.

Antonio responded: "It's time. It's time to play the game. Sunday, Old Trafford, Manchester United, on Sky Sports. Are you ready? ARE YOU READY?
