Marouane Fellaini’s brother looks like a man playing Marouane Fellaini in a film about Marouane Fellaini

Somehow, he looks more like Marouane Fellaini than Marouane Fellaini looks like Marouane Fellaini

“I’m seeing double… four Fellainis!”

Marouane Fellaini, the only man in world football with a better first touch on his chest than with his actual feet, has a brother.

Marouane Fellaini’s brother, who, again, is genetically related to Marouane Fellaini, looks a lot like Marouane Fellaini.

That is to be expected.

Again, it is his brother, it is Marouane Fellaini’s brother we are talking about, so there is going to be some physical similarity.

Some likeness is to be expected. It is normal, in fact. Nothing to be alarmed about, nothing to bother the emergency services with.

Marouane Fellaini’s brother, however, looks so much like Marouane Fellaini that he has perhaps overtaken Marouane Fellaini himself in the hotly contested ‘looking like Marouane Fellaini stakes’.

Somehow, Marouane Fellaini’s brother looks like the actual football player in this image, and Marouane Fellaini himself looks like the awkward fan asking for a photo.

See for yourself.

Alternatively, Marouane Fellaini’s brother looks like a really mad Marouane Fellaini superfan, who has followed the midfielder’s career a bit too closely and has become so enamoured with the Man United player that they spend their entire life savings on elaborate facial reconstruction and a really, really, really good wig in an attempt to look exactly like their idol.

Marouane Fellaini’s brother looks like somebody rocking up at your fancy dress party after being given the letter ‘F’ as their costume idea, and has put in an incredible amount of time and effort for a thoroughly outstanding job.

Marouane Fellaini’s brother looks like the unknown Hollywood actor who has previously only appeared in cult indie films making his blockbuster debut in the Marouane Fellaini biopic, entitled 2 Marouane 2 Fellaini despite it being a standalone film, and has to undergo a complex hair and makeup transformation that takes up to 4 hours every day before shooting.

The film will hit 12% on Rotten Tomatoes and lose $60 billion.

Marouane Fellaini’s brother looks like Sacha Baron Cohen has decided to infiltrate Old Trafford and trick Jose Mourinho into an interview for his latest TV series.

Marouane Fellaini’s brother looks really, really, really, a lot like Marouane Fellaini.

Basically, Marouane Fellaini’s brother looks more like Marouane Fellaini than Marouane Fellaini looks like Marouane Fellaini.

Somehow that sentence makes sense.

And just think, if you’re ever feeling a bit down you can at least take comfort in the fact that the earth has existed for approximately 4.5 billion years and somehow you have managed to be here at the same time that not one, but two Marouane Fellainis currently roam this glorious planet.

What a world.
