"Manchester United" forward Edinson Cavani hopes to avoid an FA punishment for his post on social media. After the win against "Southampton," the 33-year-old Uruguayan responded to a fan's congratulations with "Gracias negrito," but later deleted the phrase. "The message I wrote on Sunday was meant to thank a friend for the congratulations on the win. I never want to offend anyone. I am completely against racism and tried to remove the post as quickly as possible when I was explained that it could be interpreted differently. I sincerely apologize for that," said the forward. "It is clear to us that Edinson had no intention to offend anyone and he deleted the phrase as soon as he learned that there could be a misunderstanding. The team and all 'Manchester United' players are committed to fighting against racism," - stated in the club's announcement.
