Hotel Doorman Confuses Jose Mourinho After Marouane Fellaini Brother Mix-Up

Jose Mourinho was almost thrown by the doorman at Chelsea's hotel before their Premier League clash with Manchester United. The doorman mistook Marouane Fellaini for his brother Mansour and assumed that the midfielder wasn't playing.

Fellaini not only did play but was expected to be a key part of the United game plan, and a threat that John Cross of the Daily Mirror reports that Mourinho had been working all week to counter.

The Belgian's brother, as you can see above, looks uncannily similar and had been chatting away in the hotel before the big game.

Mourinho said, per Cross:

"

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.”

"

The Blues went on to win 1-0 through Hazard's goal.
