Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has blasted The United Strand for taking the focus away from football with his viral haircut challenge. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Frank Ilett’s vow not to cut his hair until MUFC wins five matches in a row has become a massive distraction for the club when the focus should be on Michael Carrick’s team.

Rooney added that he expects The United Strand to want the record to continue so he doesn’t become irrelevant.
His words, “I’d put him to the other side of the country. He is doing my head in.
We are talking about Michael Carrick and Man United trying to win their fifth game in a row and the whole thing is about this guy getting his haircut. I bet he is devastated if Man United win because he will be irrelevant.”
Michail Antonio added, “They still have a great opportunity, they are the most in-form team. They have beaten Arsenal, beaten Man City.
They would have wanted a win, especially for that guy, I don’t remember his name, but he wants to get a haircut. You ain’t cutting it now! They are probably the most in-form team. Coming here was a difficult game especially with the way West Ham played.
[West Ham] sat back, they struggled to break them down. [United] had to get a striker on to get more crosses into the box. It’s the only reason they got a point. I can’t see a reason why they won’t finish in the top four.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
