Manchester United have bottled the second and with it, Frank Ilett’s long-awaited haircut. Softfootball gathered that the favored United fan, who launched his “no win, no hair trim” problem on October 5, 2024, pledged to not minimize his hair till Manchester United win 5 consecutive matches.
As of February 10, 2026, the problem has stretched near 500 days, leaving him with a big afro that has drawn comparisons to former United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.
United went into the conflict towards West Ham needing simply one extra victory to finish the five-game successful streak for the afro to be minimize. Nonetheless, a 1–1 draw on the London Stadium ended these hopes.
Tomáš Souček fired West Ham forward within the fiftieth minute, placing stress on Michael Carrick’s aspect. United pushed till the very finish and finally discovered a dramatic equaliser by way of Benjamin Šeško within the 90+6 minute. But it surely was not sufficient.
The end result not solely delayed Ilett’s deliberate haircut but in addition scattered what might have been a five-match EPL successful streak for United.
West Ham as soon as once more proved to be a troublesome floor for the Pink Devils. United have struggled on the London Stadium in latest seasons, failing to safe constant victories there over the previous 3–4 campaigns.
Now the large query stays:
Will Frank Ilett lastly minimize his hair, or will the problem proceed even longer?
For now, the afro stays.
