Totally lookalike: Fabio and Rafael





Meet the da Silva twins! No, there is no mirror. They are Manchester United defenders. It would be a good idea for the twins to keep some distance to each other on the pitch before the match officials get tricked.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has previously joked about swapping the shirts of the Da Silva twins, Fabio and Rafael, in order to trick officials.

But during Manchester United's Carling Cup with Barnsley, referee Chris Foy had booked the wrong da Silva twin. He booked Fabio for a foul on Barnsley sub Jamal Campbell-Ryce. But it was actually Rafael who had committed the offence and should have received the caution.
