Greenwood welcomes baby with girlfriend Harriet Robson

*Note: This is an updated article on Greenwood

Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has not played football since January 22 last year, just before allegations of rape and assault came to light.

The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service ultimately dropped the charges after a lengthy investigation, but there has been very little that Greenwood or his partner Harriet Robson have said publicly since the shocking story came to light.

Notably, though, Greenwood has now welcomed his first child with Robson, and posted a photo on Instagram showing the baby’s hand in his own, with a caption saying: “11.07.23”.

Robson – who has also not been active on social media since the story broke – was included in the collaboration post.

IT’S BEEN NEARLY 18 MONTHS SINCE GREENWOOD LAST PLAYED COMPETITIVE FOOTBALL

Earlier this year, it was reported that a variety of options are being considered in a possible phased return to Manchester United action.

This divisive talk came after it was dramatically confirmed that all attempted rape and assault charges were dropped against Greenwood after more than a year under investigation.

However, it still remains to be seen what actions United will take, with the only statement to date reading as follows: “The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps. We will not make any further comment until that process is complete.”

THERE ARE REPORTS THAT SOME CLUBS HAVE ENQUIRED ABOUT THE STRIKER

If he were to remain at the club, United would apparently look to take into account the views of fan groups, sponsors and the United women’s team at varying stages.

The club would also reportedly want Greenwood to take part in rehabilitation, which would involve counselling or therapy, but some reports have suggested the 21-year-old has accepted he will never play for the Red Devils again.
