A new Premier League season brought hope for fans, including [ADDRESS] supporter [PERSON_NAME]. Viral for pledging not to cut his hair until [ADDRESS] win five straight games, he welcomed followers on Day 686.

However, the streak remains intact after a woeful performance against newly promoted [ADDRESS]. Manager [PERSON_NAME]’s side conceded twice in a poor first half. Substituting [PERSON_NAME] offered little hope, while goalkeeper [PERSON_NAME] faced minimal pressure.

The challenge resets, pushing the earliest possible end date to Sept. 20. “This was meant to be one of the easier games,” [PERSON_NAME] said. After nearly two years without five consecutive wins, United remain back to square one. Squad depth concerns loom large as the campaign continues.
