Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has taken to social media to announce the birth of his first child with his girlfriend.
Greenwood made the announcement on Instagram, posting a picture of the couple holding the hand of the new arrival. The caption simply read ‘11.07.23’ with a white heart emoji.
The date posted suggests the baby was born on Tuesday. It is the first picture posted on the social media platform by Greenwood, 21, since January 2022, and within 20 minutes of being uploaded had attracted over 52,000 likes.
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.
Only this week, Greenwood was pictured undergoing fitness work with Manchester United teammate Anthony Elanga.
He is currently being linked with a move away from United, but neither a transfer nor loan move has materialised yet for the former England international. A switch to the Serie A appears the most likely outcome, with Atalanta, Roma, and Juventus all registering their interest.
Greenwood has one England cap to his name, appearing as a substitute in a 1-0 away in Iceland back in September 2020. However, two days later he and Phil Foden were withdrawn from the squad after breaking Covid-19 quarantine guidelines.
