The fan's name is Frank Ilett, who, at the beginning of the season, spoke with BBC Radio Manchester and revealed his condition to finally get a haircut.
"I'm hopeful that maybe by the end of the year, maybe I'll get a haircut," he said. "The perfect ending would be one of the players to cut it at Old Trafford."
Manchester United's next match will be against Tottenham Hotspur in London, on Saturday, November 8th, on the occasion of Matchday 11 of the Premier League.
Afterwards, the Red Devils will host Everton at Old Trafford on November 24th, for Matchday 12. To finish the month, United will return to London but now to visit Crystal Palace on November 30th for Matchday 13.
Manchester United will return to Old Trafford when they host West Ham United on December 4th in their first match of the month, only to visit Wolverhampton four days later, on the occasion of Matchday 15 of the Premier League.
It does not sound like a schedule that makes it impossible for Amorim's team to achieve those five consecutive victories that Ilett longs for, but if something characterizes United it is unpredictability.
