Erling Haaland told Manchester United fan Frank Ilett, “Cut your hair man,” after Ilett defended his pledge not to get a trim until United win five consecutive matches. City’s 1-0 derby victory on Sept. 13 kept the challenge alive.
Ilett began the pledge on Oct. 5, 2024, expecting it to last only three or four months. After fans linked Haaland’s haircut to the challenge, Ilett argued in the comment thread that Haaland would have cut his hair after beating United, not later after City’s fifth league win against Sunderland.
