Manchester United s winning streak comes to an abrupt end, but this die-hard fan still needs to grow his long hair

Frank Elliott, a die-hard Manchester United fan living in Spain, once again had to put away his hair clippers.

On the evening of November 1, Manchester United was tied 2-2 at home by 18th-ranked Nottingham Forest in the 10th round of the Premier League. This disappointing draw also caused Elliott's previous promise of "cutting his hair after five consecutive wins" to be postponed indefinitely again.

This "haircut appointment" started in October last year. At that time, Manchester United had a bad start to the new season and their record was dismal. In order to cheer up himself and the team, this loyal fan made a special vow: only when Manchester United achieved five consecutive victories, he would cut off his unkempt curly hair. Unexpectedly, what was originally a joke for self-entertainment turned into an Internet craze in the past year. Today, his increasingly long hair and growing social media following have become a unique phenomenon in the Red Devils fandom.

"This is really a crazy journey. I never thought that my hair, or people paying attention to me, would become so much." Elliott said with emotion in an interview.

In the past year, Manchester United has made Elliott think that "haircut day" is coming several times. The latest hope came after three consecutive wins over Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton, and fans thought the team was finally on track. However, this game against the underdog Forest team once again dashed hopes.

During the game, Casemiro opened the scoring for Manchester United, but Forest scored two goals early in the second half and quickly took the lead. It wasn't until the 81st minute that Amad Diallo's stunning volley helped the team equalize.

The belief is still there, but there is a long road ahead

Despite the team's repeated performance, Elliott remains optimistic: "I hope to cut off this long hair before the end of this year." However, considering Manchester United's upcoming intensive schedule and ups and downs, this wish may have to continue to wait.

After this campaign, Manchester United's winning streak was ended, ranking fifth in the league with only 17 points. And Elliott's iconic long hair is destined to continue to become a topic of conversation among fans after dinner, witnessing an ordinary fan's unwavering loyalty to the team.
