A viral Manchester United fan who has pledged not to cut his hair until the Red Devils win five games in a row has starred in a new Paddy Power advert as his date with destiny appears to near.

Frank Ilett, who is known on social media as The United Strand, began the challenge last October as a way to 'spread some humour' amid a difficult period for the club. His journey has seen him gain significant fame, with Ilett now boasting 585,000 followers on Instagram.

United have won three matches in a row, beating Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton, and could make it five if they get the better of Nottingham Forest and Tottenham in their next two matches.
