Thanks to Google, Mourinho didn't fall for a Fellaini twin mix-up

Marounae Fellaini's upturn form has coincided nicely with Manchester United's resurgence.

But he was fairly quiet as he and his team-mates slipped to a 1-0 defeat at a Chelsea side that set up in a defensive style befitting Jose Mourinho's view on the game.

The Portuguese manager found a way of nullifying Felliani's threat, but as The Mirror reported, the self-styled Special One may have changed his tactics based on some inaccurate information supplied to him, based on Felliani's resemblance with his twin sibling, Mansour. 

Mourinho said: "I came down in the morning and the doorman said, ‘Fellaini isn’t playing’. The doorman asked him, ‘What do you want here?’ He said, ‘I’m Fellaini and I’ve come to get tickets from my friend Eden Hazard’. Didn’t smell well for me. I go to Google on my phone and I put in Fellaini brother. The guy is the same. So I go with the pictures to the doorman. I say, ‘This one or this one?’ He looks, ‘This one’. 'F*** off, he’s the brother.'"
