Manchester United will visit West Ham this Tuesday for the 26th matchday of the Premier League, and all eyes will be on this match for a peculiar reason. This is because Frank Ilett, a United fan, could cut his hair again after nearly 500 days, as the challenge that made him famous worldwide would be fulfilled. According to the Argentine News Agency, Ilett's challenge began in October 2024, when he promised not to cut his hair until his beloved team won five consecutive games. What no one expected was that Manchester United, which has been going through a sporting crisis for over a decade, was nowhere near winning these five games in a row, so Ilett's hair grew uncontrollably and has now become a rage on social media. Since Michael Carrick took over as interim head coach after the departure of Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim, Manchester United has won four consecutive games. The first was against their arch-rival, Manchester City (2-0), while the next victims were Arsenal (3-2), Fulham (3-2), and Tottenham (2-0). In this way, the Red Devils are just one game away from achieving their fifth consecutive victory, which would end Ilett's challenge, which has become more of a nightmare than anything else. The match between West Ham and Manchester United is scheduled for 17:15, and millions of fans around the world will be watching to see what will happen to Ilett's hair.
