Roy Keane's right arm baffles fans as he poses for snap with snooker icon Jimmy White

Fans have been having a laugh at Cork legend Roy Keane's expense after an image of him and snooker legend Jimmy White was posted online.

The former Manchester United skipper was spotted at The Crucible on Sunday admiring the first half of Luca Brecel's dramatic victory over Mark Selby to claim his maiden world championship, The Daily Record reported.

During the course of the night, he met six-time World Snooker Championship runner-up Jimmy White. The image quickly began circulating online as fans were left confused by the image showing Keane as having a twig-like arm.

"Roy needs to stop doing left-arm only weights," a commenter said in jest, with another writing: "Roy's arm is on a diet."

Another individual said they were shocked saying they had to look twice after noticing Roy had a "tiny little arm then."

A fourth compared the Sky Sports pundit to a "wax work from Madame Tussauds".

The image, which looks distorted, shows Keane's arm hidden in White's shadow, though the idea of the Premier League legend having a tiny right arm was too much fun for fans.

Keane is an avid snooker fan and has been seen at the Crucible a number of times in previous years.

He was convinced to sign for the Red Devils over a game of snooker with Sir Alex Ferguson in 1993.

His old gaffer heard Keane had a potential move to Blackburn Rovers, and asked the Irishman meet him for a game. Speaking in his first autobiography, Keane noted: "From that moment, I was never going to sign for any other club."
