ROY Keane was the butt of the joke because of his fashion choice as he appeared as a pundit on Sky Sports.
The Man Utd legend was a guest on Super Sunday alongside Frank Lampard and Jamie Redknapp.
The former pros were taking in the Red Devils' game against Chelsea at Old Trafford.
But at half-time, things took a turn when presenter Kelly Cates poked fun at Keane's attire.
She began the half-time segment saying: "We've seen Olivia Rodrigo watching on from the stands, and we've got Cardi B in the studio as well."
The quick gag drew laughter from Lampard who couldn't help but chuckle at Cates' jibe.

However, fans online spotted Lampard and Redknapp's reaction and loved the moment.

A second shared: "@skysports Kelly Cates is simply a class presenter. Saying they’ve got Cardi B in the studio because Roy Keane is wearing a cardigan and then zooming in on Roy’s stare at her was great."
A third wrote: "Roy Keane getting called cardi B for his cardigan has been the highlight of super Sunday so far."
While a fourth added: "I swear @KellyCates life flashed before her eyes when she made that Cardi B joke about Roy Keane at half time just then."
The half-time entertainment certainly provided more thrills than a dull first half at Old Trafford.
The second half was marginally better, and United thought they may have won it when Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot after 70 minutes.
However, they were quickly pegged back by Moises Caicedo's volley.
It ended 1-1 with Man Utd climbing to 13th in the table. Chelsea's point took them into the top four, above London rivals Arsenal.
