Robin Van Persie is a footballer who plays as a striker for Manchester United, but he was recently mixed up with an unlikely adversary.
Ravi Visvesvaraya Prasad is an India IT expert from New Deli, who just happens to have the twitter handle @RVP. The professional footballers real twitter handle is @Persie_Official
As you could imagine, he gets mixed up with Robin Van Persie quite a bit.

However, Prasad is aware of the confusion and has even taken it up with himself to find humor in the situation.

@daithi3345 @toontomm i was a very good football player long before @persie_official was even born. Matt busby should have signed me up.

My legs are far sturdier & stronger than the brittle injury-prone feeble legs of Robin Van Persie @Persie_Official pic.twitter.com/IlyD6H2i0n

He has even jokingly stated that he will not give up his account, but instead buy @persie_official’s handle.
@terminalfix NO. i will not give up @rvp since all my corporate clients follow me at @rvp. instead i will buy up @persie_official handle.

Others have also been confused with @persie_official, such as Sarah Moyes, owner of the twittler handle @moyesy and Ashley Van Buren, owner of the twitter handle @avb.
You're better off without me, Mein Herr. #Cabaret RT @StRobbie @avb You're a shit manager
— Ashley Van Buren (@avb) January 14, 2014
Sarah Moyes usually gets mixed up with football manager David Moyes.
I am no relation to the football manager David Moyes. Can people please stop mentioning me in tweets, I'm pretty sure he has his own account
— Sarah Moyes (@moyesy) March 25, 2014
She’s even been published in the Manchester Evening Newspaper.

The popularity of the handles have brought even more attention to them, causing some people to troll and up the intensity of their hateful tweets. The innocent twitter users are hoping things die down soon.
