Diogo Dalot reveals Man Utd players' thoughts on viral fan not cutting his hair
Diogo Dalot has shared his thoughts on the viral Manchester United fan not cutting his hair until they have won five games in a row.
Man United secured back-to-back league wins for the first time under Ruben Amorim following their huge victory over Liverpool on Sunday.
The Red Devils arrived at Anfield having beaten Sunderland before the international break.
And they registered consecutive league wins when Harry Maguire headed home his side's winner to claim a famous victory.

Man United's victory over Liverpool will be music to the ears of Frank Ilett, who has gone a year without a haircut after pledging not to have a trim until his team have won five games in a row.
Frank started growing his 'afro-style' hair in October last year as a way to 'spread some humour' among fellow fans after a tough start to the season.
Well, Man United are finally on their way to winning a series of games in a row, having secured back-to-back league wins for the first since Amorim's appointment.
They resume their league campaign on Saturday when they entertain Brighton before travelling to Nottingham Forest and Tottenham.
After Man United's win over Liverpool, Dalot, who started the clash, was asked about Frank's hairy situation to which he replied by hoping they can give him that much-needed trim.
"Let' see... We hope that we can give him that haircut," he told DAZN. "But we have to go game by game. Obviously, we know this is a very difficult league, we have tough games and, of course, we have to go after that consistency that we have lacked because we have already shown in the past that we can compete against any team in the world."
Dalot added: "We get to the big games, we get to have good performances. Now it's trying to make it happen every game. We now have the next game at home and that's what's important to us."
Even Man United are getting involved as they left a comment on social media.
"We have an encouraging update," they posted in the wake of their victory over Liverpool.
The life-long Man United fan said the closest he had come to getting a haircut was in January when the team won three games in a row, but his dreams of a trim were dashed following a defeat to Crystal Palace.
"I'm hopeful that maybe by the end of the year, maybe I'll get a haircut," he said.
"The perfect ending would be one of the players to cut it at Old Trafford."
