When The United Strand will get to cut his hair after passing 100 Man Utd matches

The United Strand's crazy hair challenge has now gone on for 100 matchdays but might the window of opportunity for a cut be approaching?

Frank Ilett's last haircut was on October 2024 and he has been refusing to cut his hair until his beloved Manchester United win five games in a row.

744 days later and Frank's hair has continued to growing to ridiculous lengths, with United unable to put together the winning run.

The social media trend has spiralled out of control, with Frank providing updates and players and managers well aware of the challenge - which has raised huge money for charity.

Wayne Rooney is not a fan of the United supporter, while Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has told Ilett to cut his hair.

In February, it looked as though his hair may finally see the clippers when United won four games in a row under Michael Carrick.

However, nearly 300,000 viewers watched him streaming as United drew 1-1 with West Ham.

United have still struggled to record five victories in a row but after the fresh milestone, could it be coming to the end?

SPORTbible have looked at a potential period where United might just be good value for five straight wins.

Man United vs Brentford - November 28

United are not on a great run at the moment and do have a run of fixtures which looks particularly tricky. However, a visit of Brentford on November 28 might just be what the doctor ordered to kick off a five-game winning run.

Well set-up Brentford are currently sixth in the Premier League and often prove to be very difficult customers. But their last win at Old Trafford came back in 1937 and this should be the kind of game United win.

Newcastle vs Man Utd - December 2

Michael Carrick's first defeat as interim boss at United came at St James' Park back in March, with William Osula scoring a stunning 90th minute winner back in March.

The Magpies showed a bit of promise under Matthias Jassle at the start of the season but are now struggling and you would back United to be the victors when they lock horns on December 2.

Man Utd vs Coventry - December 5

Another very, very winnable game for United comes just days later when they host newly-promoted Coventry City. On paper, it should be an absolute banker for the Red Devils - who haven't played Coventry in the Premier League since 2001.

The game isn't played on paper, but you would fancy United to get the job done.

Man Utd vs RB Leipzig - December 7

United are back in the Champions league this term and they have currently one win and one defeat in their opening two fixtures. A trip to Como in Italy is next up but their next Champions League home fixture comes on December 7 against Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

Against a high-pressing team who will come and play, there should be plenty of space for United to kill Leipzig on the counter attack and pick up a win.

Crystal Palace vs Man Utd - December 13

Could December 13 finally be the day that Frank gets the scissor treatment? United take on Palace at Selhurst Park in a 7pm kick-off in what could well be in pursuit of a fifth victory if all goes well.

The Eagles have struggled under new manager Piere Sage following Oliver Glasner's departure to Nottingham Forest.

He could well be gone by the time this fixture takes place but this run feels like a realistic timeframe for United to finally win five games and put an end to The United Strand once and for all.
