Romario Vieira made his debut for Leeds United’s under-23 team this week.

Ronaldo Vieira has been one of the finds of the season for Leeds United, establishing himself as a first team player.

There is plenty of scope for the 18-year-old to improve further, but perhaps the best thing about him is that he has a twin brother also with plenty of potential.

The equally spectacularly named Romario Vieira was signed by Leeds earlier this season, and this week he made his debut for the under-23 team.

Vieira had been an unused substitute in two previous matches, but was given the nod against Wigan this week in a friendly match.

Twin brother Ronaldo Vieira was on hand to watch, and the posed for a photo together after the game.

This time last year Ronaldo Vieira was beginning to establish himself for the then under-21 team, and was rewarded with a first team debut on the last day of the season.

He impressed new head coach Garry Monk in pre-season, and has kicked on from there, and could even feature at Anfield in the upcoming EFL Cup clash.

If Romario Vieira can enjoy a similar rise to prominence, then it may not be too long before the two are lining up together for the club, a potentially confusing prospect for the opposition.
