Manchester United has cancelled plans to wear a jacket supporting the LGBTQ+ community before their match against Everton after defender Noussair Mazraoui declined to participate, citing his Muslim faith. The club stated that players are entitled to hold individual opinions, and expressed commitment to diversity and inclusion. United captain Bruno Fernandes wore a rainbow armband during the match, supporting the Premier League’s LGBTQ+ inclusion campaign. The decision disappointed LGBTQ+ supporters’ club Rainbow Devils, who emphasized the importance of such initiatives.
