The 25-year-old Uruguay forward was handed the suspension and a &pound;40,000 fine in December after being found guilty of racially abusing United defender Patrice Evra in a English Premier League match. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/luis.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 374px; " /> Luis Suarezu00a0 Speaking on Uruguayan television show &lsquo;RR Gol&rsquo;, Suarez said: &ldquo;They were very tough days to me. I am not used to showing what I really feel, but the trial week was very difficult. I also cried alongside my wife. &ldquo;People at Liverpool are sure that it was a way that Manchester United used to put me out of the team and stop Liverpool. In England, Manchester United&rsquo;s political power is strong and you must respect that and shut your mouth.&rdquo; The controversy was re-ignited in February, when Suarez seemingly refused Evra&rsquo;s handshake as the teams conducted their traditional pre-match greeting. Suarez claims his actions were misunderstood.
