Mason Greenwood is set to become a father for the second time, with the former Manchester United star expecting another child with his partner Harriet Robson in the new year, according to a report.
Greenwood is enjoying a fresh start in France with Marseille, having joined from United in the summer following a year on loan in Spain with Getafe. He is now expected to expand his family again, said The sun.
It was decided he would leave Old Trafford after being arrested in January 2022 before being charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, although the charges were dropped.
He revealed that his first child, daughter Summer, was born in July 2023 and that the 23-year-old will not be growing his family any further next year.
Greenwood would earn around £70,000 a week in Marseille after his exile in England.

A source told The Sun: ‘Mason has been through a lot of growing up in recent years, especially since becoming a father.
‘He and Harriet are enjoying life outside the intense spotlight that comes with being a United player and are much more comfortable off the pitch, meaning he can concentrate on his football.’
The charges against Greenwood were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service following the ‘withdrawal of key witnesses and the coming to light of new material’.
Last month, Marseille president Pablo Longoria claimed it was manager Roberto De Zerbi’s wish to sign Greenwood.
The Italian revealed his desire to emerge as a striker during his first meeting with the board after being appointed manager in June.
Greenwood was on the hunt for a new club after it was decided he would leave Manchester United, where he had spent years as an academy prospect before graduating to the first team.
He made 129 appearances for United and scored 35 goals before joining Marseille for £30 million in the summer.
The former England international had not played for Man United since January 2022 and was loaned out to Getafe last season. He scored ten goals and registered six assists on his way to winning the club’s player of the season title.
His possible move to France sparked a backlash from angry Marseille fans, who launched a #GreenwoodNotWelcome campaign when he was initially linked with the club.

Marseille mayor Benoit Payan also opposed the measure and said he would lobby the club’s president, Pablo Longoria, to call off the deal.
However, Greenwood was warmly welcomed by fans when he arrived for his medical on Wednesday. Fans greeted the attacker with flares and chants of his name as he waved to them at the airport.
His former club confirmed the news on Thursday, sharing a short statement wishing their former academy graduate ‘all the best in his future career’.
Greenwood’s representatives had been contacted for comment.
