Why Always Him: Police investigating Mario Balotelli for ''threatening'' a woman taking photographs of his Ferrari

Mario Balotelli has made the headlines again, not for football reasons though. Reports have it that the Liverpool striker is being investigated by Greater Manchester Police for ''threatening'' a woman who took photographs of his red Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

According to Dailymail Police were called to a housing estate at 3pm on Thursday in the Wythenshawe area of Manchester, where the 24-year-old was reportedly visiting his mum Rose Barwuah.

GMP are investigating Balotelli's use of ''threatening behaviour'' after the forward demanded the woman stop taking photographs of the £240,000 car he shipped from Italy during the summer.

The controversial forward was seen swapping jersey with Real Madrid defender Pepe at half time while Liverpool were 3 nil behind.
