Viral Man United fan meets Amorim, gets apology for hair wait

Frank Ilett, who won't cut his hair until United win five in a row, finally met Ruben Amorim — and got an apology.

What happened. Frank Ilett, the viral Manchester United fan not cutting his hair until the club wins five consecutive matches, met former manager Ruben Amorim at the Portugal Football Summit. Amorim apologised for the wait, pointing at Ilett's hair and saying 'sorry about that!'

• Ilett has not cut his hair since October 5, 2024, and says it affects his vision.
• He is raising money for the Little Princess Trust and will donate his hair.
• Amorim failed to win five in a row in 63 matches as United manager.

“He saw me, pointed to my hair and said "sorry about that!" Still have love for him!”

Ilett continues his hair-growing challenge as United seek a five-game winning streak, with Amorim now managing AC Milan.
