Over the past two seasons, Premier League teams have been asked to support the LGBTQ+ community and the 'Rainbow Laces' campaign. United players had to wear a Pride-themed jersey to warm up before matches, as well as a jacket when coming on. This year, Old Trafford players were only required to wear a jacket when entering the field. pitch before kick-off. But the Moroccan international let his teammates know that he was not ready to wear this outfit, citing his Muslim faith to explain his choice.

The decision was made a few hours before the victory of the Mancunians against the Toffees.
