"Manchester United have handed an indefinite ban to a supporter who assaulted Frank Ilet. Ilet has garnered a huge social media following over the past year as he known as the Man Utd fan refusing to cut his hair until the club win five games in a row. A video which was shared on social media a day after the fixture showed the supporter in question coming up behind Ilet and violently shaking him by his locks in the concourse."
"Ilet received plenty of messages of love and support after the footage went viral, and made it clear he has no intention of going back on his promise. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News after the incident, he said: It was always and always will be to spread humour and positivity to United fans in a difficult time. I have, of course, been a Manchester United fan my entire life and my intention with this challenge was never to highlight Manchester United's flaws."

The attacker was identified and removed from Old Trafford for an indefinite period.

The challenge began amid poor form under Erik ten Hag and has continued despite Ruben Amorim's appointment; a Brighton match could move him closer to a haircut.
