During the FA Cup semi-final between Manchester United and Brighton at Wembley Stadium, one fan chose to get a haircut in the middle of the game with the video of the Man Utd fan viral
Both groups of fans went to London on Sunday afternoon in hopes of making it to the final against Manchester City. The game finished in a 0-0 tie, so it went to penalty kicks to decide who won. United was the winner.
Victor Lindelof’s winning penalty kick made United fans very happy, and one fan was eager to join in the party while looking his best. He had clippers and scissors brought into the stadium, and fans who watched him get a haircut during the game were confused.

It’s not unusual for barbershops to have a good football game on TV while someone cuts hair, but this is the first time a haircut has happened during a live football game. The unknown fan had no time to get a haircut before Manchester United’s big game, but he still wanted to look his best for the game. He had someone bring clippers and knives into the stadium and cut his hair while the game was going on.
Fan’s live haircut during United’s FA Cup semi-final sparks mixed reactions
The Wembley barber received a mixed response online as some fans praised his creativity, while others expressed confusion over his actions. It’s still not clear if he finished his haircut before Lindelof scored the winning penalty kick.
If the Manchester United fan wanted to look his best for the semi-final, he would have to get in shape before June 3. In the summer, United will go back to London to play Manchester City in an all-Manchester final.
The two Manchester teams have already played each other twice this season. In October, City won 6-3 at the Etihad, and in January, United won at Old Trafford. Both teams will want to win so they can take home the coveted trophy. Their head-to-head records for the season are tied.

The manager of Ajax, Erik ten Hag, has said that he is looking forward to the game. But he also talked about how important Manchester United’s other goals were. “It’s going to be a great final, but first we have other things to focus on. It’s important to get into the Champions League next season,” he told BBC.
Strange things have happened at football games for a long time, and the strange haircut is just the most recent one. Some fans opt to display their support through fancy outfits or banners, while others go to any length to be noticed.
