Манчестер Ситигийн довтлогч Эрлинг Холанд өөрийн үсний засалтын талаарх фэнүүдийн таамаглалд хариу өгөхдөө “Манчестер Юнайтед”-ын хөгжөөн дэмжигч Фрэнк Илеттэд үсээ засуулахыг зөвлөжээ.
“The United Strand” нэртэй сошиал сувгийг хөтөлдөг Фрэнк Илетт өөрийн дэмждэг баг Премьер лигт дараалан таван тоглолт хожсон тохиолдолд үсээ засуулна хэмээн 2024 оны аравдугаар сарын 5-нд амлалт өгсөн юм. Өнгөрсөн хоёрдугаар сард Майкл Каррикийн удирдсан баг Манчестер Сити, Арсенал, Фулхэм болон Тоттенхэмтэй хийсэн тоглолтуудад ялалт байгуулж, зорилгодоо хүрэхэд ердөө нэг хожил дутуу байсан ч Вест Хэмтэй 1-1-ээр тэнцсэнээр түүний төлөвлөгөө бүтэлгүйтсэн билээ.
Энэ улиралд Манчестер Сити Премьер лигийн эхний таван тоглолтдоо дараалан ялалт байгуулсны дараа Эрлинг Холанд үсээ зассан нь олон нийтийн дунд “Манчестер Юнайтед”-ыг шоолсон үйлдэл байж магадгүй гэх таамаг дэвшүүлсэн юм. Энэ талаарх хэлэлцүүлэгт Фрэнк Илетт оролцож, уг үйлдэл нь тохиолдлын шинжтэй гэсэн байр суурь илэрхийлсний хариуд Эрлинг Холанд “Үсээ засуул” хэмээн товч хариу бичжээ.
Уг асуудлын талаар Манчестер Юнайтед-ын тоглогч асан Уэйн Рүүни өмнө нь өөрийн байр суурийг илэрхийлж байсан юм. Тэрээр багийн амжилт чухал байгаа үед нэгэн хөгжөөн дэмжигчийн үсний засалт ийнхүү олны анхаарлыг татаж байгаад шүүмжлэлтэй хандаж, Фрэнк Илеттийг багийн амжилттай зэрэгцүүлэн авч үзэх нь утгагүй гэж байр сууриа илэрхийлж байв.

In no uncertain terms, Erling Haaland has told Manchester United fan Frank Ilett to get a haircut after the social media personality responded to a fan theory in SPORTbible’s comments section.
Ilett, who has built a significant following through his social media channel The United Strand, promised on October 5, 2024, that he would only cut his hair when United recorded five wins in a row.
Back in February, the 30-year-old was just one victory away from a trip to the barbers following wins over Manchester City, Arsenal, Fulham and Tottenham. However, after Michael Carrick’s side could only record a 1-1 draw against West Ham, Ilett was left heartbroken, with almost 300,000 viewers watching his reaction to the result on streaming platform Kick.

Erling Haaland offers some no-nonsense advice to The United Strand
Unfortunately for The United Strand, it has been a poor start to the campaign at Old Trafford. They currently sit 12th in the Premier League table with one win from a possible five.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are currently unbeaten after winning all five of their opening games against Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Coventry, Manchester United and Sunderland.
City’s impressive form has led some fans to suggest Erling Haaland waited until they had won five Premier League games in a row before getting a haircut as a so-called dig at local rivals United.
SPORTbible asked its audience whether the timing of Haaland’s haircut was a mere coincidence or if the City striker knew exactly what he was doing.
The United Strand wasn’t convinced. “I personally don’t think it was anything to do with that,” he wrote. “He would have got it after the 5th win otherwise (against United!) ..not the 7th against Sunderland.”
Haaland soon responded to the comment, although his take did little to settle the debate. He simply replied: “Cut your hair man.”

Wayne Rooney has already given his take on The United Stand
Ahead of United’s game against West Ham in February, Wayne Rooney made his feelings abundantly clear on Ilett’s much-talked-about haircut challenge.
Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Rooney was asked if he would get the clippers out for Illett.
“[No.] I’d put him on the other side of the country,” said Rooney. “He’s doing my head in. We’re talking about Michael Carrick and Man United trying to win their fifth game in a row and the whole thing is about a guy getting his haircut.”
The former striker added: “I bet he’d be devastated if Man United win the fifth game, because all of a sudden he’s irrelevant.”
