In Video: Manchester United fan Frank Ilett vows not to cut his hair until his side wins five matches in a row
Manchester United Superfan’s Epic Hair Challenge: "5 Wins in a Row or Forever a Mop"
Frank Illet, a die-hard Manchester United fan, has set an unconventional goal for the Red Devils: winning five matches in a row. To make it a bit more interesting, he’s growing his hair until the team achieves this feat. What started as a joke has turned into a viral sensation, with rival fans cheering him on (or trying to psych him out by wanting him to keep his long hair).
The challenge began after Man United’s loss to Fulham in the FA Cup. Frank thought it would be a fun way to add some humor to a tough time for the club. Little did he know, his gamble would attract attention from fans, celebrities, and even a few fellow comedians. "I never expected it to be this big!" Frank exclaimed in an interview.
The rules are simple: Frank won’t cut his hair until Manchester United wins five matches in a row. So far, they’ve had the occasional wobble, but Frank’s hair just keeps growing. His current locks have already earned him comparisons to Paco Fella, the popular internet meme.
Frank’s journey has been a rollercoaster. He thought he’d be done with his hair by now, but the team’s recent win against Leicester has prolonged his pledge. When asked if he’s concerned about letting his hair get out of hand, Frank shrugged, "It’s just going to be a mess at this point!"
The question on everyone’s mind is: what if Manchester United fails to win five in a row this season? Frank was resolute: "I’ll just keep growing until we get it done." And what about the pressure? "It’s all good, mate. I’m just a fan doing what I love."
As we near the end of the season, fans are eagerly awaiting the day when Frank’s locks will meet their demise. Will it be before the final whistle blows, or will this superfan’s tresses outlast the team’s hopes? We can’t wait to find out.
Stay tuned for updates on Frank’s epic hair challenge!
