Frank Ilett’s hair remains unbeaten, even if Manchester United are not.
The United supporter, who has pledged not to have a haircut until his club win five matches in a row, marked the 4-1 defeat at Como with a comic Instagram video filmed under the shower.
His verdict was simple: “Disgraceful.” The run without a trim has now reached 776 days, with the challenge increasingly looking like a long-term fixture in its own right.
Quick facts
- Frank Ilett will not cut his hair until Manchester United record five straight wins.
- United were beaten 4-1 by Como.
- Ilett reacted with a humorous shower video on Instagram.
- He has gone 776 days without a haircut.
It is a familiar ritual for followers of Ilett’s challenge: another setback for United, another reminder that the barber will have to wait.
Five consecutive victories is hardly an extravagant target for a club of United’s scale. Yet Ilett’s growing mane has become an awkward little measure of how difficult consistency has been to find.
For now, Como’s four goals have ensured there will be no appointment, no scissors and no fresh start. Just another day added to the count.
