March 9 (Reuters) - Edinson Cavani's father said on Tuesday the Manchester United striker was uncomfortable in England and wanted to return to South America, adding that his son's wishes had been influenced by a three-match ban he received for using a racial term. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed last month that the club were planning to hold talks with Cavani, 34, about extending his stay after an impressive first year in England. The Uruguayan has seven goals in all competitions this season. Cavani's father Luis, however, does not believe his son will prolong his time in Manchester, and said that the striker had held talks with Boca Juniors president Juan Roman Riquelme about signing for the Argentine club at the end of the season. "He doesn't feel comfortable where he is," Luis told Argentine football programme Superfutbol on the TyC Sports network.
