Manchester United fan remains unshaven

Manchester United - the fan

The most famous fan in the world right now, Frank Ilett, was left without a haircut after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with West Ham on Tuesday night, as part of the 26th round of the English Premier League.

United failed to record a fifth consecutive win and so the Oxford fan, who lives in Spain, will need another five-game winning streak in order to fulfill his promise.
He had promised in October 2024 that he would only retire when United had won five games in a row. But United failed to do so.
