The United Strand's instant reaction to his challenge resetting after Manchester United's draw against West Ham United has been revealed.
Ever since United appointed Michael Carrick as Ruben Amorim's successor, the Red Devils have been on a brilliant run.
United have beaten the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks.
On Tuesday night, they arrived at the London Stadium looking to make it five wins in a row against struggling West Ham.

One United fan, Frank Ilett, had a keen eye on the match because of the mammoth challenge he had embarked on more than a year ago.
Ilett, also known as The United Strand, was involved in a challenge of not cutting his hair until United won five matches in a row.
On Tuesday night, it was make-or-break: if United had won, he would finally have a haircut; if they had drawn or lost, the challenge resets again.
After what was a cagey first half that ended 0-0, West Ham took the lead in the 50th minute thanks to a goal from Tomas Soucek.
Streaming live on KICK, The United Strand was seen reacting to the Hammers' opener by putting his hand on his face in disappointment.
United then had a goal disallowed after Casemiro was deemed to be offside by VAR before heading the ball into the back of the net.
Carrick's men continued to push for the equaliser but were faced with a stubborn West Ham defence.
Deep into stoppage time, Benjamin Sesko scored to make it 1-1 to rescue a point for the Red Devils.
For The United Strand, his challenge has now reset once again, and five wins in a row are required for that long-awaited haircut.
At the final whistle, he was sat on his chair in disbelief as he was left speechless.
Eventually, he puffed out his cheeks before shaking hands with his friends.
He then said: "It was a strange game. Heartbroken."
Looking ahead, United's next five matches are against Everton, Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Bournemouth.
This means that The United Strand will have to wait until March 20 at the earliest for a haircut.
