Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Have you ever been mistaken for someone famous?
No, well it happens us all the frickin’ time with Ronan O’Gara ranking higher than that time a chef though I looked like a more well fed Prince Harry.
So some comparisons can be a bit more flattering than others, but we’re not sure that being compared to one of Alex Ferguson’s most ridiculed signings would count as being a compliment.
Dimitri Payet ripped Newcastle United apart tonight with two wonderful goals to help the Hammers to their first home win of the new season.
And it didn’t take long for people to see a resemblance between his features and those of Brazilian Anderson.

Payet looks like the player United fans were hoping Anderson would be. If he doesn't discover Nandos he's got a bright future.

@BusbyMUFC His resemblance with Anderson, formerly of United might have put them off. Bit fat but boy can he play football. #Payet

Payet looks like a 10 stone lighter version of Anderson from a side angle.

Payet is an absolute for doppelganger for Anderson, just not fat of course

Just had the terrifying realisation that Dimitri Payet looks mildly like Anderson.

This Payet lad for West Ham looks a lot like Anderson and his name is pronounced "Pie-et" aka Pie Ate
