Forest Draw Resets Viral Man United Fan’s ‘Five-Wins’ Haircut Challenge

The earliest possible haircut now lines up with December 8 based on Manchester United’s fixture list.

Overview

  • Manchester United’s 2-2 result at Nottingham Forest ended a three-match league run, resetting Frank Ilett’s pledge back to zero.
  • Known online as ‘The United Strand,’ Ilett called the outcome heartbreaking but said he remains committed after more than a year without a trim.
  • If United string together five straight league wins from here, the run would conclude on December 8 against Wolves.
  • The upcoming slate cited by Ilett features Tottenham, Everton, Crystal Palace, West Ham and Wolves.
  • Paddy Power’s barber-themed skit about the pledge topped 660,000 views, and Forest’s Neco Williams poked fun on X with a post about the delayed trim.
