According to The Sun, Greenwood became a father with his university student girlfriend, who recently enjoyed a baby shower where she flaunted her blossoming bump.

The publication reports that the English youngster actually plans to marry the stunning brunette.

Greenwood's off-pitch struggles

The birth of Greenwood's baby comes at a time the United star has endured off-pitch struggles.

The youngster has not played competitive football for more than one and a half years, with his last appearance for the Red Devils coming in January 2022.

The Englishman has been battling legal challenges after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend.

While the charges have since been dropped, Greenwood continues to face an anxious wait on what the future holds regarding his football career.

However, he has recently been spotted training alone, suggesting he is close to making a return to action, per Express UK.

Man United drop Greenwood shirts

Sports Brief also reported on Manchester United’s decision to drop Mason Greenwood’s shirts from their official kit launch for the 2023/24 season.

This means supporters will not be able to get a shirt with Greenwood's name on the back after it was omitted from the launch.

All other names from the senior men's and women's sides are available, but Greenwood is not included.

Greenwood has been linked with a possible Old Trafford move, with Roma among the teams said to be interested in a loan move.
