Mario Balotelli appears to have added to the criticism that Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been receiving by liking a controversial Instagram post.

The Italian is currently on loan at AC Milan from Liverpool after spending last season at Anfield scoring just four goals in all competitions.

A number of fans hit out at Rodgers on social media after Liverpool scraped past League Two side Carlisle United in a penalty shootout during last night's Capital One Cup meeting.

Balotelli joined in as he liked a post that mocked Rodgers by listing his honours, one of which was 'once got Mario Balotelli to defend a corner: 2014'.
