Frank Ilett is currently doing the United Strand challenge, and refusing to cut his hair until Man United win five consecutive games.

“I started this hair challenge because we were going through a bit of a tough time, and I wanted to spread some humour and positivity to other Man Utd fans who were also having a tough time.
“The only thing is, I didn’t expect it go on as long as it has. All my family are a bit like: ‘Come on now.’
“I’ve come this far now. I think if I was going to quit, I would have quit a while ago!”
