Ruben Amorim breaks silence on Manchester United not wearing LGBTQ+ jacket
manchestereveningnews.co.ukRuben Amorim reiterated Manchester United's commitment to the Rainbow Laces campaign but also defended the squad for showing solidarity with Noussair Mazraoui.
Mazraoui refused to wear a rainbow-themed Adidas anthem jacket in support of the LGBQT+ community before the Premier League win over Everton last week, citing his Muslim faith.
Rather than make Mazraoui feel isolated, the United players decided to scrap plans to wear the jacket during the Premier League's Rainbow Laces initiative.
The Rainbow Devils supporters group said it was "a great disappointment... to all those who had worked hard at the club to deliver this event" and expressed their "worry what kind of negative effect this incident might have on any player at the club who may be struggling with their sexuality".
