United Women reach 5 straight wins for the fourth time

Manchester United fan Frank Ilett had promised not to cut his hair until the men's team won 5 matches in a row. Known on social media as "The United Strand", Ilett has been waiting for 745 days to sit in the barber's chair.

While the men's team remains far from the target, the women's team is doing exactly what Ilett needs. Eva Olid's players have reached a 5-match winning streak for the fourth time since Ilett began his journey in October 2024.

Three of those streaks came under Marc Skinner, who left his post over the summer. The latest came under new head coach Olid.

Ilett shares an update on social media every day. His ever-growing hair has become a kind of running joke among football fans, and the young supporter has drawn wide attention online.

The men's team drew with Leeds at the weekend. With that result, Ilett's count of matches without a haircut rose to 100.
