NBA star LeBron James will this weekend be leaving the court and heading over to Anfield as Liverpool take on Manchester United on Saturday.

"Just got to Liverpool, England," James wrote. "Riding through the city. What a beautiful place. Home and birthplace of the One and Only 'BEATLES'"

The Miami Heat star owns a minority stake in John Henrys Fenway Sports Group, the business that owns Liverpool.

According to the Guardian newspaper in London, Liverpool's 3-1 defeat of Manchester United last season attracted an estimated 500 million viewers worldwide, whereas the Super Bowl is watched by just 20 million viewers outside of the United States.
