Daniel created the image for a competition to win a pair of signed Herrera boots before tagging the United duo over Instagram.

Mata then republished a picture to his social media of the pair using the face swap feature and the results was startling.

Alongside the picture Mata captioned the snap with a confused face which summed up the reaction of the player’s Twitter followers.

One Twitter user said: “Damnnn I don’t even look this similar with my own family members.”

Another wrote: “Is this face swap for real? Can’t find any difference.”

The duo will could both be in action ahead of Manchester United's Europa League clash with FC Rostov.

But they will be hoping they can come through the game unscathed after Jose Mourinho branded the pitch 'unplayable'.
