The Football Association will look into a social media post from Manchester United forward Edinson Cavani.
Edinson Cavani's Instagram post containing an offensive phrase is set to be investigated by the Football Association (FA).
Cavani post offensive?
The Manchester United forward sent the message after scoring twice in Sunday's 3-2 victory at Southampton, including a last-gasp winner.
Uruguay international Cavani used the Spanish phrase 'Gracias negrito' in response to an Instagram story from a fan and has since deleted the post, having been told of its potential to cause offence.
The FA said it had been informed and would look into it, while United are also reported to be aware of the post.
Cavani's double at St Mary's Stadium came after he was introduced from the bench at half-time, the victory leaving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side just three points adrift of the top three with a game in hand.

Negrito or negrita Is used by latin people and it's a word said with love to that particular person... so nothing bad in that

If you ever think life is difficult, remember that Aubameyang put on Maradona's Jersey underneath waiting for a goal celebration ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น

negrito is a South American slang that has no racial intend. its used a term of endearment in Uruguay. he doesn't deserve any ban. a fine at maximum in my opinion
