Manchester United did not proceed with plans to wear jackets supporting the LGBTQ+ community before their match against Everton after player Noussair Mazraoui declined to participate due to his Muslim faith. The club announced that no player would wear the jacket to avoid singling out Mazraoui. While captain Bruno Fernandes wore a rainbow armband, LGBTQ+ supporters expressed disappointment over the incident. Manchester United emphasized its commitment to diversity and inclusion, stating that players are entitled to their personal beliefs, which may differ from the club’s stance.
