"I started it because I wanted to spread some humour and positivity to Man United fans,"
"Really, we were going through a bit of a tough time at the time, and, yeah, it kind of felt like it just needed a bit of positivity. The other thing is that I felt like maybe people were underestimating Man United a little bit at the time, and I thought that we would be back to winning ways a lot sooner than than we were."
"I never expected the challenge to go on for as long as it has, and, yeah, definitely didn't expect it to take off as much as it has, either."
Michael Carrick's return as interim head coach produced a morale-boosting victory when Manchester United beat Manchester City at Old Trafford. That win started a four-game winning run that revived club momentum. Fan Frank Ilett, known as The United Strand, set a public challenge to only cut his hair after five consecutive United wins and has waited 492 days. Ilett gained 1.2 million Instagram followers during the challenge. Argos committed to supply trimmers and styling products if Manchester United beat West Ham, which would allow Ilett to finally end his long-running bet.
