Michael Carrick spoke about Frank Ilett after the fan said he would cut his hair if Manchester United wins tonight, making it five consecutive victories.
On 10 Feb 2026 GMT+7, English manager Michael Carrick spoke about Frank Ilett after the fan said he would cut his hair if the Premier League giants Manchester United, known as the Red Devils, manage to beat West Ham United, led by Portuguese coach Nuno Espírito Santo, tonight.
Frank Ilett announced to the world that he would not cut his hair unless Manchester United won five matches in a row. Since that day (5 Oct 2024) nearly 500 days have passed, and tonight he is hopeful to cut his hair—he just wants Carrick’s team to defeat West Ham United.
Michael Carrick said, “This does not affect our preparation. The story made me smile, and I learned about it from my son. But professionally, we do not discuss this in team meetings. Still, I understand what might happen if we win tonight.”
