"Go eat some bananas and get ebola you dirty monkey." - Racist Man-U Fan tells Balotelli

Some hate-filled and detestable social media fans viciously lashed out at the Liverpool and Italy striker after twitting about the Red Devils' defeat this afternoon.

Super Mario as fondly called, simply twitted; 'Man utd ... LOL.'

One vile tweeter, known only as iMonko, wrote: "Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey."

Another, using the Twitter handle Maroc, tweeted: "You're a f*****g monkey. Oo Oo ah ah."

And one particularly disgusting tirade read: "@F**k you Mario you f*****g n****r. Go eat some bananas and get ebola you dirty monkey."

Many others came to Balotelli's defence and some screengrabbed and re-tweeted some of the vile messages, and forwarded them on to police.

O well, let's see what the police will do to these bitter racists.
