Author: Mirror<\/strong>
\nAfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Edinson Cavani is facing an FA investigation and potential ban after being accused of using a racist term on social media.<\/p>\n

The Football Association confirmed to Mirror Sport they are aware of the post, are looking into it and will now ask Cavani to explain the remark made on\u00a0Instagram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cavani, 33, wrote \u201cGracias n******\u201d in an exchange with a fan after scoring twice – including a dramatic late winner – in\u00a0Manchester United<\/strong>\u2019s last gasp victory at\u00a0Southampton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The FA have a strict code on racism and under the latest guidelines, Cavani could get a three-game ban.<\/p>\n

It is understood that Cavani believed he was using the term in a friendly way, it is a common phrase in South American and has been told now of the different interpretation in England.<\/p>\n

He has since deleted the post.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

But Luis Suarez used a similar term in the infamous bust-up with Patrice Evra which led to the former\u00a0Liverpool<\/strong> striker getting an eight-game ban.<\/p>\n

Manchester United have yet to comment but Mirror Sport have contacted the club.<\/p>\n

There have been a string of recent cases that would suggest that Cavani will get punished.<\/p>\n

Manchester City<\/strong>\u00a0star Bernardo Silva got a one-match ban for posting – and quickly deleting – a picture of a character used in a chocolate brand.<\/p>\n

Dele Alli also got a one-game ban for a so-called joke on social media about\u00a0coronavirus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cavani\u2019s post has caused a backlash on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
