Bruno Fernandes Responds To Viral Man Utd Fan As He Nears Haircut

Bruno Fernandes issued a hilarious response to the viral Manchester United nearing towards a first haircut in nearly 500 days after the Red Devils beat Spurs on Saturday.

Fernandes scored the second for United as they ran out 2-0 winners at Old Trafford, with Bryan Mbeumo on target and Cristian Romero seeing red for a late tackle on Casemiro.

The result continued the dream start under caretaker boss Michael Carrick, who has won his first four games at the helm following wins over Manchester City, Arsenal and Fulham.

The club are chasing a fifth win in a row against West Ham on Tuesday and there is a lot on the line for one fan.

Frank Ilett, the United fan involved in a viral haircut challenge, is just one win away from finally getting a trim. With United failing to put together a five-game winning run under Ruben Amorim, Ilett's hair has grown out of control but his challenge has received huge attention.

In a post-match interview on Saturday, United captain Fernandes was asked about the fan and whether he can now book an appointment with his barber.

The Portugal international responded in comical fashion, commenting: "No, no. I need to book for myself. I don't really look at other people if they need to the hairdresser or not. That is not important to me."

Meanwhile, Ilet, who goes by 'The United Strand' on social media has announced some huge plans for the fifth game - where he will be hosting a special watch along.

"Carrick is at the wheel, this hair is going soon," an ecstatic Ilett said.

"West Ham next, four out of five done.

"This is the first time it's been four in a row since I started the challenge. This time is happening. Thank you so much to Carrick, thank you, thank you, thank you.

"There will be a watch along for the fifth game against West Ham, some exciting plans coming up, more details to come."

Ilett began the challenge on 4 October with his last haircut and has racked up more than one million followers on Instagram, while enjoying a number of commercial opportunities.

United travel to the London Stadium for a 20.15 kick-off on Tuesday and look to climb further up the table.

The Red Devils are sitting nicely in fourth in the table and on course for a return to the Champions League but the recent run means they are just three points behind Aston Villa in third.
