Manchester United legend Roy Keane confuses fans with Jimmy White picture

Keane was enjoying the snooker World Championship final for the second day, and got to meet six-time runner-up White.

Roy Keane managed to confuse the world just by getting a picture at the snooker World Championship final with Jimmy White.

On Sunday night, Keane was in the crowd at the Crucible to watch Mark Selby become the first player ever to score a maximum 147 break in the final.

It helped set up an extremely interesting final day in Sheffield, with Selby just one frame behind Luca Brecel heading into Monday's two sessions.

The Belgian showed no signs of nerves against the four time champion though, winning six of the eight frames in the afternoon to take a 15-10 lead.

In typical fashion, Selby then brought things back to 16-15, leaving Brecel to say, "[Selby is] the worst opponent to have in the final. He just keeps coming back, he's such a fighter and at 16-15, I didn't fancy winning at all to be honest."

But the man who'd beaten Ronnie O'Sullivan in the quarter-finals, and had the biggest comeback in the competition's history in the semi-finals, then rattled off three straight frames to capture the title.

Keane was once again in the building to see it all unfold, and the Irishman took the opportunity to get a snap with six time runner-up at the world championships, White.

Fans were left equal parts baffled and amused by the former Manchester United star's arm in the picture with White, questioning his work out regime.

"Roy's arm is on a diet," said one fan.

"Roy embraced it so much his arm turned into a pool cue," joked a second.

A third was very worried about Keane's current fitness regime, adding, "Roy needs to stop doing left-arm only weights."

Comparing the Sky Sports' pundits arm to a popular snack at Christmas time, another noted, "What’s up with Roy’s arm, I’ve seen thicker twiglets."

"Roy wouldn't make much of a snooker player why a right arm like that Jimmy!", commented a fifth on Keane's potential snooker playing.

Many also joked that the 51-year-old wouldn't have been impressed with the action, even the 147 that he witnessed, as it was just Selby doing his job.

The former Sunderland manager certainly enjoyed his pictures with White and Ken Doherty more than he usually enjoys interaction with fans.

Whilst he was away in Sheffield, Keane lost a colleague on Sky, with Graeme Souness announcing he was stepping down from being a pundit.

The Liverpool legend appeared to be getting emotional, as he ended 15 years with the company after his former side's win against Tottenham Hotspur.
