Marseille striker Mason Greenwood is reportedly set to become a father for the second time. The 23-year-old has been on the course to build his career in France. The ex-Manchester United forward spent the last season at the Spanish club, Getafe, on loan. He signed a permanent five-year deal with Marseille earlier this summer after parting ways with the Red Devils. Greenwood has made a positive start to the new chapter of his career with the Ligue 1 outfit. He has already struck five goals in seven matches across all competitions.
Amid all the chaos for his on-field performance, Greenwood is expecting his second child with his partner Harriet Robinson, as reported by the Sun. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in July last year.
“Mason has done a lot of growing up in the last couple of years, especially since he has become a father. He and Harriet are enjoying life out of the intense spotlight that comes with being a United player and is much more settled off the pitch, which means he can concentrate on his football,” a source close to Greenwood told The Sun.
When Greenwood made his debut for the Manchester United senior team in 2019, he was considered one of the most promising talents in Europe. The Old Trafford hierarchy decided to release the youngster after his arrest for the charges of sexual assault. He was loaned out to Getafe in September last year.
Greenwood looked impressive at the La Liga club and finished as the Player of the Season. He represented Getafe in 36 matches across tournaments and netted ten goals. Before moving to Spain, Greenwood recorded 35 goals and 12 assists in his 129 appearances for Manchester United.
Barcelona have reportedly kept their eyes on Greenwood. The La Liga giants can put forward a £60-million bid next summer to sign the England international, according to a Sun report. Scouts from Barcelona are said to have attended four of Greenwood’s games this season.
Greenwood, however, has been enjoying his time in France and may choose to continue there for a few more seasons. “Mason loves France. He’s been welcomed with open arms and is loving life in the league,” a source told The Sun. Apart from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are also interested in signing Greenwood next year.
