Man Utd ‘SCRAP plans to wear LGBT jacket after Mazraoui refused to wear it’

Man United reportedly scrapped plans to wear an LGBT rainbow jacket after Noussair Mazraoui refused to wear it.

For the past two years, as part of the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign, United's players have worn a pride-themed jersey to warm up before matches, to show support for the LGBTQ+ community.

According to The Athletic, United planned to wear a rainbow jacket ahead of the Everton match this year, but Moroccan star Noussair Mazraoui declined.

The outlet claims that de Mazraoui, a devout Muslim, told his teammates he would not wear the jacket, citing his religious faith as reasoning.

The club then decided that no player would wear the tracksuit, meaning Mazraoui would not be publicly singled out. The decision was reportedly made just hours before kick-off.
