PSG midfielder Ander Herrera has slammed the FA for banning Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani for three games.

Cavani has been suspended, fined and ordered to take a "education programme" after a social media post made to a close friend.

The forward deleted the post soon after and issued an apology, but he was charged with using insulting and/or improper words, and pleaded guilty to the FA charge.

After Cavani posted a response to his ban, former United midfielder Herrera jumped to the support of his ex-PSG teammate.

Herrera said: "If they ban you for that. The world is going to s***. Big hugs and stay strong Edi."

Meanwhile, current United defender Marcos Rojo said to Cavani: “Those who know you know the kind of person you are!!!"
