Manchester United fan set to get haircut after long wait

Famous Manchester United fan Frank Elliott is close to getting a haircut. He has been waiting for the Red Devils to win five consecutive matches for almost 16 months. Now, he needs Manchester United to beat West Ham on Tuesday to finally be able to shave. Frank Elliott started this unusual challenge in October 2024, vowing not to cut his hair until the 'Red Devils' achieve five consecutive wins. This goal became close after Manchester United secured their fourth consecutive victory by beating Tottenham. Elliott told ESPN: 'I thought it would only take a few months and would be a joke. It was meant to be something to bring humor to Manchester United fans during a difficult period. It didn't seem unrealistic at the time because the team had achieved five consecutive wins in the previous season'. At that time, United was managed by Dutch manager Erik ten Hag. After ending the previous season by winning the FA Cup against Manchester City, Elliott felt it was the perfect time to start the challenge. The challenge, which began with Elliott letting his hair grow, turned into a social media phenomenon. His hair grew longer and thicker with each passing day and each point the team dropped.
