The English Football Association has asked Edinson Cavani for an explanation after the Manchester United striker posted an Instagram post that many have perceived as racist.
Cavani became the big hero with his two goals in Manchester United’s trade deal against Southampton on Sunday. After the match, the Uruguayan thanked a fan who congratulated him on his achievement.
“Thanks black guy,” Cavani wrote in response to Instagram.
According to several English newspapers, the tip can be sanctioned by the editor.
To The Telegraph, the English Football Association confirms that they have learned of the publication and that they will ask Cavani for an explanation. The case will continue to be investigated.
Both The Mirror and The Sun have posted a screenshot of the Instagram post, which has been posted to the story feature on social media. Since then, the post has been removed.
In August, the FA, the English Football Association, established new guidelines and rules for racist statements and actions. According to them, racism can be punished with a ban of six to twelve parties. Racism on social media, on the other hand, can be punished more leniently, with six matches or less.
According to English newspapers, Cavani may be expelled from three games as a result of Sunday’s posting on his Instagram profile.

Cavani’s compatriot Luis Suárez was punished for racism while playing in the Premier League in 2011. According to the FA report, the then-Liverpool forward used the word “black” on Manchester United’s Patrice Evra. Suarez was suspended for eight games. He defended himself with cultural differences, that the expression was slang for “friend” in his country of origin.
There are several cases of social media posts that have led to exclusion. Last year, Bernardo Silva was suspended from a game after posting a photo of a character used in advertising for a chocolate brand. The Portuguese compared the figure with his partner Benjamin Mendy, who was perceived as racist by the football association.
Tottenham’s Share Alli has previously been punished with a match for posting a joke about the corona virus on social media.
