MARIO BALOTELLI has been caught on camera SWEARING at Manchester United fans.
Liverpool's Italian striker was filmed giving the one finger salute to United fans before the game at Anfield yesterday.
United fans can be heard chanting 'City reject' - a reference to his time at Manchester City - and 'what a waste of money' at Balotelli.

The madcap striker looks towards the crowd and appears to take a photo on his phone before sneakily sticking his middle finger up to the United section of the Anfield crowd.
Things got even worse for Balotelli later as his side went on to lose 2-1 with captain Steven Gerrard receiving a straight red card 38 seconds after coming on as a half-time substitute.
Liverpool supporters were even forced to hold Balotelli back from United defender Chris Smalling after the pair clashed near the touchline.

QUICK ESCAPE: Balotelli heads down the tunnel
With Balotelli already on a booking, his reaction to Smalling's challenge could have seen him also get a red to cap off an awful day for Liverpool.
Balotelli has a chequered past with a number of high-profile misdemeanours to his name.
Most recently he was banned for one game after posting a racially insensitive message to his Instagram account.
