Roy Keane surprised viewers as he showed off a new look on ITV for the World Cup final.

One wrote: "A World Cup final that has given us a Roy Keane with a moustache."

Another commented: "Is Roy Keane's facial hair a joke or did someone convince him it was a good look?"

Someone else said: "Roy Keane's moustache is very distracting."

"Extravagant choice of facial hair from Roy Keane here. Fitting for a World Cup final," read another tweet.

Keane stated that he sees Argentina as the favourites against the defending champions.

He told ITV: "It takes a lot to get me excited but I'm really looking forward to this game. Huge credit to both teams. I think Argentina with the setback from the first game (when they lost to Saudi Arabia), their supporters have been fantastic. Today will be like a home game for them, but again take nothing away from France, they've been outstanding again, a lot of their young players and Griezmann has been outstanding.

"Their manager deserves huge credit. It's a brilliant game to look forward to."
