[Man U] Legendary Fan Frank’s “No Haircut Challenge” Passes 450 Days — Finally Goes for Hair Straightening
The ongoing misery of Manchester United has quite literally transformed one die-hard supporter.
Frank Illett (29), known online as The United Strand, is still nowhere near a barber’s chair more than 450 days after starting his brutal challenge:
“I won’t cut my hair until United win five games in a row.”

Honestly, at this rate he won’t be cutting it for another five years.

Time will solve it eventually.

Doesn’t look like it’s happening anytime soon.

That’s insanely fluffy lol.
Can’t cut it, so fair enough I guess.

So this is what curly hair turns into…

Might need to bring back Fergie for that.

I’m bald, but I’ll try a challenge until Hanshin win back-to-back titles.

When was the last time they even won five straight?

If you count the FA Cup, February 2024.

They used to be monsters.
Smashing everyone outside the top spots 5–0 regularly.
Feels like it all went downhill after Moyes.

Whether he does this or not won’t change the team’s results.
Is this just for clout?

Should’ve done “shave your head every time they lose” instead.

They’ve improved a bit lately, but five straight wins? Nah.

Fergie’s staff were too good.
The club never learned how to rebuild properly after him.

Reminds me of that guy who kept doing karate punches until Togashi came back.

No chance this season.
Best shot was beating Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton,
then Forest and Tottenham after that.

He’s kinda cute though.
29: Anonymous Fan 2026/01/05 02:47
This is hilarious.

Five straight wins with no draws is hard even for strong teams.

Barcelona are on a nine-game streak right now.
Premier League’s a different beast though.

Back in the day, sure.
Now? Might take 5–10 years.

When I got into football, United were clearly above City.
City felt like some knock-off club.
Now United are the worse Manchester team.
Same with 1860 Munich —
used to think they were a Bayern knock-off,
now they’re stuck in the third division.

Funny thing is, 1860 were actually bigger than Bayern back then.

That’s the club Osako played for, right?

Honestly, it kinda works.
Looks like someone straight out of Vinland Saga.
