Manchester United have the opportunity to win five successive matches but perhaps more importantly, for some at least, Frank Ilett, also known as The United Strand, may be allowed to cut his hair. Ilett posted a video on 5 October 2024 where he vowed not to cut his hair until United won five games in a row and now, 493 days later, he is one victory over relegation-threatened West Ham away from another. Over the last 493 days, the reach of the story has grown so much so that Ilett has garnered 2.3 million followers on social media, while Red Devils interim manager Michael Carrick and captain Bruno Fernandes have even asked about it.
