“I started this hair challenge because we were going through a bit of a tough time, and I wanted to spread some humour and positivity to other Man Utd fans who were also having a tough time.
“The only thing is, I didn’t expect it go on as long as it has. All my family are a bit like: ‘Come on now.’
“I’ve come this far now. I think if I was going to quit, I would have quit a while ago!”
