Arsenal legend Ian Wright has jumped to the defence of Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli.
Hate-filled social media users targeted the Liverpool and Italy striker after he goaded the Red Devils fans with a tweet which simply read: 'Man utd ... LOL.'
Cannot believe the abuse @FinallyMario took ! In this day and age. Over a comment about a game of football. Disgraceful.
