By The United Strand,” a viral Manchester United fan challenge, is now on the brink of completion. The man behind the challenge is Frank Ilett, a 29 year old Manchester United supporter from Oxford, England. He vowed not to cut his hair until the club records five consecutive wins, a challenge he began on October 5, 2024.
Manchester United strengthened that run with a 2–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, as Bryan Mbeumo scored in the 38th minute and Bruno Fernandes sealed the win in the 81st minute.
With the current run standing at four consecutive wins, Tuesday’s match will be the fifth. If Manchester United defeat West Ham on Tuesday, the five match winning streak condition will be met, and Frank Ilett will finally be able to cut his hair, ending a challenge that has lasted over a year.
