Wayne Rooney speaks out threatening a Man Utd fan who hasn’t cut his hair for nearly 500 days

Wayne Rooney voiced his displeasure towards Frank Ilett, a well-known Man Utd fan famous for his curly hair in recent months.

Man Utd failed to extend their winning streak in the Premier League when they were held to a 1-1 draw away at West Ham in the 26th round. However, besides the match result and the “Red Devils” performance, fans’ attention shifted to Frank Ilett, a devoted supporter of the club.

Previously, Frank Ilett made a promise not to cut his hair until Man Utd achieved five consecutive wins. It seemed this vow might end soon since the opponent was only West Ham, but Manchester United only managed a draw in London, prolonging the challenge. So far, Ilett has gone 493 days without a haircut, making his hair look like a huge hat.

Nevertheless, not everyone appreciated this image. Wayne Rooney, a Man Utd legend, expressed his displeasure, believing Ilett was deliberately “showing off,” and predicted the fan would lose attention if the “Red Devils” actually won five matches in a row in the future.

Specifically, Rooney said: "I want to send him to the other side of the country, he really annoys me. We’re talking about Carrick and Man Utd trying to get their fifth straight win, yet everything revolves around this guy’s hair.

I bet you, if Man Utd wins the fifth game in a row, that guy will be devastated immediately because he’ll instantly become irrelevant."

During the match against West Ham, Frank Ilett truly went through an emotional rollercoaster with many dramatic moments.

After a cautious first half, West Ham unexpectedly took the lead at the 50th minute thanks to Tomas Soucek’s goal. On the livestream, Frank Ilett appeared stunned, holding his face in clear disappointment. The scenario worsened when Casemiro’s equalizer was disallowed due to offside after a VAR review.

Although Benjamin Sesko scored in stoppage time to secure a point for the “Red Devils,” the 1-1 draw ended the winning streak and forced Ilett’s challenge to restart. When the final whistle blew, he sat silently, choking back tears, saying it was a truly heartbreaking game.

According to calculations, if Man Utd wins all five upcoming matches, Frank Ilett will have to wait until March 21 (Vietnam time) to get a new look.
