Manchester United is on a three-match winning streak.
David Beckham has been linked with an unexpected position at Manchester United if the club wins its next two games.
Following a rough start to the 25/26 season, United are now in excellent form.
After victories over Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton & Hove Albion, Ruben Amorim’s side is presently sixth in the Premier League table with 16 points.
Looking ahead, United has the opportunity to extend their winning streak against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this weekend.
One United supporter, in particular, will be keeping a close eye on the current winning streak.
Frank Ilett, widely known as The United Strand, vowed not to trim his hair unless United won five consecutive matches.
391 days have passed since the challenge began, and Frank could be just two matches away from a long-awaited haircut.
With United just two wins away from winning five in a row, ex-Red Devils player Nani predicts Beckham will chop Frank’s hair if they beat Forest and then Tottenham Hotspur.
Nani told Covers.com: “If that means Manchester United is winning, I want him to cut his hair.” We need two more games, and I feel it will happen because of the manner we’ve been playing; it’s well deserved.
“Manchester United only need to be very disciplined over the next two games, staying modest and working hard. It does not have to be 3-0 or 4-0; 1-0 is plenty.”
He continued, “I believe that if he cuts his hair, everything will change and we will look forward. I believe he would like a legend to cut his hair, and David Beckham should do it because he has plenty of experience. “He would be perfect!”
Earlier this month, after beating Liverpool at Anfield, defender Diogo Dalot commented on Frank’s challenge.
He told DAZN, “Let us see… We hope to give him that haircut. However, we must approach each game individually. Obviously, we understand that this is a challenging league with tough games, and we must strive for the consistency that we have lacked because we have previously demonstrated that we can compete with any team in the world.”
