Players from Manchester United's women's team have poked fun at Red Devils fan Frank Ilett, whose wait for a haircut continues afer the men's side failed to beat West Ham on Tuesday. It means his wait for a much-needed haircut - which has gone on for nearly 500 days - is set to continue. Had Ilett promised to grow his hair until either side won five in a row, he could be clean shaven by now. Ilett's live reaction to Tomas Soucek's goal for West Ham - that put the Hammers 1-0 up - in front of almost 100,000 viewers on streaming site Kick said everything. After almost 500 days of waiting, and having amassed 1.3million followers on Instagram, Ilett - known as The United Strand - is back to square one.
