Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani has broken silence on the receiving a three-game ban for an 'insulting' post on social media.
The Football Association on Friday handed the Uruguayan a suspension for instagram post to his friend that was captioned 'Gracias n******'.
Cavani revealed that he had accepted three-game, but insisted it was not his intention to offend anyone with the caption.
"Hello everyone, I do not want to extend much in this uncomfortable moment for me. I want to share with you that I accept the disciplinary sanction knowing that I am foreign to English language customs, but I do not share the point of view," Cavani posted on Instagram.
"I apologise if I offended someone with an expression of affection towards a friend, nothing further was my intention. Those who know me know that my effort is to always seek the simplest joy and friendship!
"I appreciate the countless expressions of support and affection. My heart is at peace because I know that I always expressed myself with affection according to my culture and way of life. I send you a sincere hug."
Cavani will now miss the Reds Devils' next three games, starting with tonight's Premier League tie against Aston Villa and the Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City next week.
