MASON Greenwood enjoyed a family Christmas at home after jetting into Manchester with his partner Harriet Robson.
The Manchester United forward – on loan with Spanish club Getafe after Old Trafford bosses ruled he couldn’t play for the club following abuse allegations – was pictured shopping with Wag Harriet Robson in Hale, Cheshire, in the run up to Christmas.
The couple, who have a baby daughter, flew back to the UK to see family during the La Liga winter break which runs from December 23 to January 3.
A source said: “Mason and Harriet have really enjoyed living in Spain. They have had time and space to enjoy being a young family and are facing up to the challenge of living in a foreign country.
“He has had lots of problems off the pitch in his short career, but he finally seems to be addressing them and sorting himself out.
“He has made some good friends with teammates and Harriet has been welcomed by some of the Wags. They like being able to go out in Madrid without feeling like everyone is watching them.”

Greenwood moved to the Madrid-based side in September after United announced the previous month he wouldn’t play for them again.
The decision came after allegations of attempted rape, assault and controlling coercive behaviour were dropped by the CPS when a key witness refused to co-operate with the prosecution.
United then launched an internal investigation into Greenwood’s conduct and kept him suspended on full pay of £75,000-a-week.
Getafe are understood to have told United they would like to buy Greenwood for £40m, but United want to keep Greenwood’s deal as a loan move.

His future remains uncertain with Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan all keeping tabs on his form.
The 22-year-old has scored five goals and provided four assists in 15 games since moving to Getafe in September.
His form has led to some United fans to call for his return to Old Trafford despite bosses previously saying he needed to leave to rebuild his career and that they had no plans to bring him back.
Former United starlet Ravel Morrison tweeted: “What a player. United need to bring him back!!” after watching a highlights reel of Greenwood playing for Getafe.
After Greenwood led a late comeback against Atletico to draw 3-3, France striker Antoine Griezmann heaped praise on him, saying “Mason Greenwood was really causing us problems in the second half. We couldn’t stop him and it cost us the game.”
