Stop focusing on the wrong issue! Matheus Cunha strongly criticized the Man United fan haircut standoff, saying it disrupts the team's atmosphere.
On 14 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Frank Elliott, a Manchester United fan and owner of The United Strand channel, announced he would not cut his hair until his beloved team won five consecutive matches starting from October 2024. He has waited nearly 500 days and must wait longer after the "Red Devils," led by Michael Carrick, drew 1-1 away at West Ham, ending their four-match winning streak.
While fans eagerly watched the streak hoping for a haircut result, Matheus Cunha, the team's key attacker, took a different view. He confirmed the issue neither motivates nor pressures the players and believed the season's potential beauty was being overshadowed.
"People worry more about winning five matches because of the haircut than about earning 15 points. I personally care more about the 15 points. I don't care about his hair at all. We discuss it sometimes, but it's neither a motivation nor pressure. We don't see it as cool or anything like that."
"No one wants those five wins more than we do — or even more than that. But I think the pressure from the haircut issue slightly overshadows the season's potential beauty."
