A fan who pledged not to get a haircut until Manchester United achieved a five-game winning streak ultimately failed to cut his hair for the 100th consecutive match.

The British outlet "The Sun" reported on the 19th (Korean time), "Frank Aylott, a Manchester United fan, shared an update after completing 100 matches since making his no-haircut pledge."

Aylott, who goes by the name "The United Strand," declared that he would not cut his hair until Manchester United achieved a five-game winning streak. However, Manchester United repeatedly dashed his expectations, enduring extreme turmoil for a whopping 743 days during which five managers were replaced.

The harsh life of long hair began under former manager Erik ten Hag. After ten Hag failed to achieve a five-game winning streak, interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy secured two consecutive wins, but the momentum was broken by the arrival of manager Ruben Amorim. Manager Amorim, who had steadied the team's atmosphere, also managed only three consecutive wins before being dismissed and leaving for AC Milan. Interim manager Darren Fletcher, who took over the reins, failed to secure a single win during his two matches in charge.

The period closest to getting a haircut was under manager Michael Carrick. Manager Carrick, who finally took charge, went on a four-game winning streak immediately after his appointment by defeating Manchester City, Arsenal, Fulham, and Tottenham in succession. It was a situation where just one more win would have allowed Aylott to cut his shaggy hair.

However, he was held back by relegated team West Ham United on the path to a five-game winning streak. Manchester United drew 1-1 with West Ham, and along with the painful draw, Aylott's haircut challenge returned to square one.

Ultimately, Aylott had to let his hair grow wild throughout the 100th matches played over 743 days. The Sun reported, "Manchester United has fallen into another slump of 'zero consecutive wins,' making Aylott's prospects for a haircut bleak."
