Manchester United-fan Aaron heeft een mijlpaal van 500 dagen bereikt in zijn \u201cThe United Strand\u201d-uitdaging, nadat hij gedwongen was vast te houden aan zijn groeiende haar na de 1-1 gelijkspel tegen West Ham afgelopen zondag.<\/p>\n

De supporter begon de uitdaging met een eenvoudige belofte: hij zou niet naar de kapper gaan totdat United een clean sheet hield. Naarmate de reeks aanhield, is het online een langlopend gespreksonderwerp geworden, waarbij Aaron het steeds langer wordende haar dag na dag documenteert.<\/p>\n

United ging de wedstrijd tegen West Ham in terwijl Aaron nog steeds wachtte op het resultaat dat hem eindelijk een knipbeurt zou opleveren. Maar ondanks een voorsprong in de tweede helft, slaagde Erik ten Hags ploeg er niet in de wedstrijd uit te spelen; ze incasseerden laat en moesten genoegen nemen met een 1-1 gelijkspel.<\/p>\n

Dat betekende opnieuw geen clean sheet, en dus ook geen knipbeurt.<\/p>\n

In een update na het eindsignaal bevestigde Aaron dat de uitdaging nu de 500 dagen heeft bereikt, waarbij zijn haar nog steeds intact is omdat United er opnieuw niet in slaagde de tegenstander van scoren af te houden.<\/p>\n

De ongebruikelijke belofte wordt steeds moeilijker te be\u00ebindigen, waarbij elke wedstrijd opnieuw een test vormt van Uniteds vermogen om 90 minuten lang te verdedigen. En totdat die eerste clean sheet er eindelijk is, zal \u201cThe United Strand\u201d blijven groeien.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
