LONDON (Reuters) - An independent LGBTQ supporters' group of Manchester United has expressed its disappointment after specially-designed jackets to mark the club's official Rainbow Laces game were not worn by players ahead of Sunday's home win against Everton.

Fans' group Rainbow Devils had worked with the club on the event in support of the LGBTQ community but the plans for the squad to wear the Adidas warm-up jackets were abandoned after one player declined to take part, citing his own personal religious beliefs.
