The Football Association should investigate after Edinson Cavani was reported to have used the words’thanks black‘in response to a message on social media.

A post, which appeared on Instagram, was sent to the FA and they confirmed to Telegraph Sport that they were aware of a message that has since been removed and would be investigating it.

It is understood that Cavani has been responding to a fan who had posted the words: ‘I love you so, killer(I love you so much), following his dramatic late win in Manchester United’s 3-2 win at Southampton.

The word ‘bold font‘became the center of debate over the allegations against Luis Suárez, who is also from Uruguay, when Liverpool played Manchester United in 2011. In his autobiography, Suárez said it was a word that had been used among members of his family and that was never meant. as a racist insult. At that time, Gus Poyet, also from Uruguay, said that it was not considered offensive in his country but that “we have to adapt” and pay attention to “how we use it.”

Manchester United are satisfied that the term was clearly understood in the caring context used in South America but, with Cavani aware that it can be interpreted differently, the post has been removed.

Although much of Suárez’s sequel did focus on the word ‘bold font‘and its meaning in Uruguayan, it was actually his use of the word’ black ‘to Patrice Evra that stood out in the FA’s verdict. The FA report said he used the word ‘black’ seven times. Suarez said in his autobiography that it was once.

The FA is now expected to ask Cavani for his comments but, in recent years, it has sanctioned players for controversial posts on social media. Bernardo Silva was suspended last season for a game after posting, and then deleting, a photo of a character used in a chocolate brand. Dele Alli was also banned from a game for a comment he posted about the coronavirus that was found to be in breach of FA Rule E3 that relates to any reference, whether express or implied, to race and / or color and / or or ethnic origin and / or nationality.

Cavani signed on loan from United in October from Paris St-Germain and starred in Sunday’s 3-2 win against Southampton. After coming into halftime, he scored twice and also provided an assist to help United reverse a 2-0 deficit at halftime.
