Mario Balotelli lead the trolling of Manchester United after their shocking 5-3 defeat by Leicester City today, the Liverpool striker simply tweeting: "Man Utd...LOL".

Former Leicester player and England legend Gary Lineker also joined in, writing "S*** on Manchester United", and that it was one of the greatest performances in Leicester's history.

In one of the craziest second-half spells in Premier League history, United went 3-1 ahead against newly-promoted Leicester City at the King Power Stadium after 57 minutes, before David Nugent pulled one back from the penalty spot five minutes later.

New signing Esteban Cambiasso then equalised with a powerful effort two minutes after, Jamie Vardy made it 4-3 with 11 minutes remaining and then in the 83rd minute Leonardo Ulloa scored his second goal of the game from the penalty spot.
