Manchester United players are furious over the show of disrespect from Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.

The Daily Mail says it is unlikely the FA will take any action over the ugly scenes at the end of Saturday's game when Balotelli appeared to taunt United fans, prompting an angry reaction from Rio Ferdinand and Anderson and a melee among players and staff.

Balotelli was accused of being disrespectful and of allegedly making comments about Anderson's girlfriend.

The FA are waiting to receive additional footage from ITV on Tuesday so they can view the incident from other angles but are unlikely to pursue it further.
