"I don't care about his haircut" - Cunha fires back at blogger's challenge not to get a haircut until Manchester United win five in a row

Manchester United striker Matheus Cunha delivered a blunt response to the viral challenge launched by one of the leading personalities from the popular fan channel The United Strand. The blogger had promised not to cut his hair until the Red Devils secured five consecutive victories, but it’s clear the club’s forward isn’t impressed by the spectacle.

Details: Matheus Cunha made it clear that the team is focused on results on the pitch, not the hype surrounding fans’ hairstyles.

"People care more about five wins because of someone's haircut than about the actual 15 points. I’m on the side of those 15 points, and I couldn’t care less about his hair," the Brazilian stated.

The forward also admitted that the squad is aware of the challenge, but it’s met with more confusion than excitement in the dressing room.

We talk about it sometimes, but it doesn’t motivate us at all. We don’t think it’s cool," Cunha added.

It’s worth noting that Manchester United fell just one win short of getting blogger Frank Aylett to finally cut his hair.
