"I don't know when it will happen" - Ruben Amorim comments on fan's challenge to not cut his hair until Man United wins five in a row

The head coach of the Red Devils sincerely believes his team will soon give the fan a chance to shave his head and complete the challenge.

Details: 40-year-old Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim, currently in charge of Manchester United, responded to the challenge from United fan Frank Illet, who pledged not to cut his hair until the team wins five consecutive matches.

"Ah, I don't know, hopefully he'll get his hair cut soon. I really want that to happen as soon as possible," Ruben Amorim said with a smile.

The last time Manchester United strung together five victories in a row was a staggering 622 days ago—since then, the team hasn't managed to repeat that feat.

Recently, Frank had a real chance to finally say goodbye to his hair as United were on a three-match winning streak, but a draw away at Nottingham Forest in Premier League Matchweek 10 broke that run and dashed the fan's hopes of ending his challenge.

The Red Devils' next fixture is already tomorrow, away against Tottenham in Matchweek 11 of the Premier League.

Currently, Amorim's side sits eighth in the table with 17 points to their name.
