Manchester United fan Frank Ilett has opened up on how much he has made from his viral “United Strand” hair-growing stunt.
Ilett, who became an online hit after pledging not to cut his hair until United win the Premier League again, has built a large following around the challenge. The long-running promise has turned his hair into a recognisable part of the story, with supporters tracking his progress as the club continue their wait for another league title.
Speaking out on his earnings, Ilett revealed the amount he has generated through the popularity of the stunt, addressing the growing questions over whether the “United Strand” has made him a millionaire.
The United fan explained how the project developed from a simple personal pledge into something much bigger, with the attention leading to opportunities that brought in money. He also made clear what the figures actually look like, setting the record straight on the scale of his income.
Ilett’s update comes as the “United Strand” continues to draw interest online, with the challenge still active while United remain without a Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season in 2012-13.
