In a moment that has shocked many in the world of football, Marouane Fellaini has cut his hair.
The Manchester United midfielder posted a picture of himself to Instagram at a hairdresser with his renowned curly locks, with the words.
Referencing his impending 31st birthday, the Belgian midfielder wrote: “New year, new look.”
Fellaini had his hair cut at Mitchell’s hair and beauty in Brussels, ahead of his country’s Nations League fixture against Iceland on Thursday evening.
After the changing of a hairdo which has been one of the Premier League’s most recognisable hairstyles in recent years, many of Fellaini’s teammates responded with disbelief.
United, Roma and his fans also joined the trend.
