Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has announced his girlfriend has given birth to their first child.
The 21-year-old took to Instagram on Friday to share the news with a photo of two hands next to their newborn baby’s.
Next to the image was the caption, ‘11.07.23’, followed by a love heart.
The news comes five months after Greenwood was cleared of charges relating to assault and attempted rape.
The forward has been suspended by Manchester United since February 2022 after his initial arrest 18 months ago.
In that time, Greenwood has been unable to play for the club or take part in training with the rest of his teammates.
Greenwood has kept a low profile since the allegations came to light and Friday’s Instagram post was his first on the social media platform for 18 months.
The United forward appears to be inching his way back to a return to football and was pictured training with a personal trainer last month.
United have still not made a final decision on Greenwood’s future at the club but it is believed that Erik ten Hag is reluctant to sell him.
Therefore, it is likely that Greenwood goes out on loan to a foreign club with a move to Italy possible.
Juventus have so far shown an interest but Atalanta could hold the key to United’s plans of landing a new No.9 this summer.
Greenwood has been tipped as a makeweight in the deal to take Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund to Old Trafford.
Manchester United football director John Murtough has reportedly discussed the option of Greenwood moving to the Serie A side, during negotiations for the 20-year-old Danish striker.
