Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick confirmed he is aware of a supporter’s viral vow to stop cutting his hair until the team wins five consecutive matches.
Michael Carrick has reacted to a fan’s unusual commitment to avoid the barber until United secures five straight victories.
Speaking on the viral pledge, the head coach noted, “I’m aware of it. My kids have made me aware of it but it certainly won’t go into the team talk.” While the story has gained traction online, Carrick remains focused on immediate results.
The former midfielder admitted the lighthearted protest has reached his household but insists it remains a side note to professional duties.
“I can understand what’s going on. It does make me smile but it won’t make an impact in the end,” he explained.
For Carrick, tactical preparation outweighs the pressure of ending a supporter’s growing mane through a winning streak.
