Roy Keane got fans talking ahead of the 2022 World Cup final as he wowed viewers with his new facial hair.
The Manchester United legend was joined by Gary Neville and Ian Wright along with presenter Mark Pougatch for ITV's coverage of the mouth-watering contest between France and Argentina in Qatar.
But those watching the build-up on ITV were quick to take to social media to discuss Keane's new-look facial fuzz. Usually sporting a full beard or stubble, he debuted a new World Cup look with a moustache only, the Mirror reports.
