Football is a unique sport that brings fans around the world together and when there’s a healthy banter, it’s even better as it brings laughter and joy to everyone involved and Celta Vigo is no different, Softfootball reports.
The Spanish club came out to troll a Manchester United fan, who has become popular for refusing to cut his hair until they win five consecutive matches. This happened after the LaLiga side defeated Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 in the Europa League.
Manchester United fan Frank Ilett started a personal challenge after he vowed not to cut his hair until the Red Devils won five consecutive games. The challenge, which began in October 2024, has become a long-term commitment, with Ilett posting updates on his progress and the team’s performance on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Interestingly, the challenge has become a huge thing among football fans especially in Europe and even some United players were seen talking about it just before the revenge encounter against Nottingham Forest.

— Celta (@RCCelta) November 6, 2025It was the first time this season that Celta have won five matches in a roll and it was just the perfect timing for them to troll Manchester United and the fan, Frank Ilett for the 5-game challenge which has been on for a while.
Manchester United won three matches against Chelsea, Liverpool and Sunderland and fans were hopeful that they would finally win five in a roll, considering they were playing against struggling Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspurs. But it wasn’t meant to be as Manchester United drew 2-2 against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground courtesy a late equalizer by Amad Diallo.
Ruben Amorim and his players have the opportunity of starting another sequence of winning five matches in a roll when they travel to London to face Tottenham Hotspurs. Thomas Frank will be eyeing a win as Spurs lost 1-0 against Chelsea at home last weekend.
