A Manchester United fan has been "stuck looking like Marouane Fellaini" after making a Ruben Amorim vow.
Frank Ilett, 28, buzzed off his hair in October and is now refusing to cut it again until United win five games in-a-row. And over 150 days later, Frank has been left looking like Fellaini as the Red Devils' torrid form continues.
"Well, it was just for a bit of fun, really, to be honest. It was literally just I don't really know why, I just went for it," he told The Sun. "I saw this guy doing it with, I think, an NFL team or something like that. And he was doing three matches in a row..."
Frank, who runs The United Strand, admitted he didn't think the run would go on this long.
He joked: "Now we've gone past that point and now I'm just hoping for the best and seeing what happens. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes until next season now!"

"He's already got hair like Fellaini," one fan joked. While a second said: "Well, that isn't gonna happen this season. So I guess he might as well audition for a Harry Potter movie as Dumbledore..."
"Bro should just change his name to Samson at this point... he ain’t cutting that hair anytime soon," a third posted. And another added: "Our club is a laughing stock nowadays it's actually embarrassing..."
United last won five-in-a-row during a run between January and February 2024.
