Manchester United have submitted a claim of mistaken identity to the FA after Fabio da Silva was booked by referee Chris Foy against Barnsley in the Carling Cup.
Instead the offender - for a challenge on Jamal Campbell-Ryce - was his twin brother Rafael.
The FA confirmed they have been approached by United and the submission will be heard on Tuesday by a regulatory commission.
The Brazilian twins helped United secure a place in the quarter-finals of the competition thanks to a 2-0 victory.
However the holders finished the game with 10 men after Foy sent off Gary Neville for clattering into Adam Hammill.

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHHaaHaHaHaHaHa
the ref is stuipid there names our at the back ok threre shirtis like c mon like there are numbres on there bacs too
barnsly are @#$% lets face it a nother season fighting religation not be long till u start dropping points again and again and again never mind lads div 1 football do ya good next season
fabio is unlucky how did the ref get it wrong any way he must of not been consetrating!!!!! manu 4 ever1
Gary Neville has got more Premiership WINNING medals than the WHOLE of the Liverpool team .....put together.....hahah..har har di ha
Thats classic!
who cares? manure are @#$% anyway
Gary 'uglet' Neville is a twa.t who deserved to be sent off.
That referee should go for an eye examination. Oh sorry both eyes.
Fabio on the left and Rafa on the right dude.
neville is a s h e t eater!
matt lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The replay clearly showed that the referee got it wrong and booked the wrong player. I guess some tw*ts on here have to complain about something or their heads would explode.
Only Fergie could come up with this excuse! Perhaps after the crowd trouble caused by alleged man utd fans they should be thrown out of the cup and replaced by barnsley
Maybe referees are as dumb as they look after all!
Never mind the numbers, don't they have their names in big letters on their backs as well?
Maybe thats why they lost on Saturday, they played Wayen Rooneys useless twin Dwanyne by mistake
manchester cheating nob jockeys
As someone with eyesight, I would have thought it was easy to tell them apart as Fabio has a big number 20 on his back and Rafael has a big number 21 on his back.
As for the photo I’d say Rafael’s on the left and Fabio’s on the right.
#13 "So henceforth theis twins before any match should clarify any difference between them.Maybe a star with red ot iron should be placed on one of them to distinguish them" I would have guessed the numbers on the back of the shirt would have given a clue............
