In an interview ahead of this week’s final two Premier League games, chair of Rainbow Devils, Eric Najib, and vice-chair, Lindsay Parr, discussed working alongside the club to promote inclusivity and diversity among the fan base as well as educating supporters on the impact of homophobic abuse.

As the season draws to a close with home fixtures against Chelsea and Fulham before the exciting finale of another Wembley final in the FA Cup against Manchester City, Eric said that he was immensely proud of the feeling of inclusivity among United supporters. However, he recognised there was still work to do to eradicate homophobic behaviour within football stadiums and online.
