Edinson Cavani remains “annoyed” to have faced a ban following an Instagram post as doubts emerge over his future at Manchester United.
The striker only moved to Old Trafford in the summer after leaving PSG when his contract expired.
Cavani signed a one-year contract with the option of an additional 12 months, but his father declared his son “unhappy” as he sought to get out.
The Uruguayan, who is linked with Boca Juniors, made his mark with a winning brace against the Saints in November.
He posted on social media in Spanish after the match but his comments were considered a violation of FA rule E3 and he was fined £ 100,000 and banned for three matches.
An FA statement said: “A comment posted on the Manchester United FC forward’s Instagram page was insulting, abusive, inappropriate and brought the game into disrepute contrary to FA rule E3.1. The post also constitutes an ‘aggravated offense’, which is defined in FA rule E3.2, as it included a reference, express or implied, to color and / or race and / or ethnicity. .
But Cavani’s father referred to the incident as a source of frustration for his son.
Speaking to Argentina’s Superfutbol football program on the TyC Sports network, the forward’s father said: “My son is not happy in England and wants to come back closer to his family. He wants to play in South America.
