Cavani Instagram post: What did Man Utd striker say & could he be banned for racially insensitive comment?

Edinson Cavani may have been the hero for Manchester United as they overturned a two-goal deficit against Southampton to secure a crucial 3-2 victory in November, but his actions online after quickly took the sheen off.

The Uruguayan striker scored two important goals for the Red Devils on that occasion on November 29, including an injury-time winner, and afterwards he rightly drank in the plaudits for his timely intervention.

However, as he was glorying in the adulation on Instagram, the veteran sharpshooter posted a racially insensitive message which could well see him punished by the English football authorities.
