Manchester United fan refuses haircut
His updates, which he posts regularly, show just how much he’s holding on to hope despite the wait stretching close to a full year.
In one of his first posts, he wrote:
Part 52 | 200 Days. 42 Matchdays.
Current Streak – 0/5 😳
Wins – 17, Draws – 12, Losses – 13.
Sadly for him, the situation hasn’t changed much. Manchester United have failed to produce the five-game winning streak needed to free him from his self-imposed vow.
