FANS have been left in hysterics by Roy Keane’s reaction to his CBS Sports welcome.
The Irishman joined Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and host Anita Jones for the banter-filled American coverage of the Europa League final.
Keane, who was with CBS for the first time, replaced Thierry Henry from their normal Champions League punditry line-up.
Jones introduced the trio by saying she was “joined by three men who know all about big game pressure”.
To welcome Keane, she added: “And joining us at the big desk for the very first time, a great whose trophy cabinet is loaded with silverware – Manchester United legend Roy Keane.”
There was a huge round of applause led by Carragher and Richards as a shy-looking Keane awkwardly smiled.

Jones then said: “It’s a bit hard to replace Titi (Henry). We’re very happy to have you.
“I know everyone in America is very happy to have you too. We’re expecting the no-nonsense approach tonight.”
Keane bluntly replied: “Yeah, I hope so, pretty straightforward.”
Richards then interjected with a reference to a Ted Lasso character, saying: “Who’s more famous in America? Roy Keane or Roy Kent?”
