She captioned the short video: “To everyone who wants to know what Mason Greenwood actually does to me.”
She then shared five pictures showing deep bruises on her arms and legs, as well as a bloodshot red eye.
Harriet, who has 213,000 followers, later posted a series of voice notes from October 2021 which seemed to further demonstrate 20-year-old Greenwood’s alleged violence.
Manchester United said it was aware of the images, which have since been deleted, but would not comment further.
A spokesperson for the club added: “We are aware of images and allegations circulating on social media.
“We will not make any further comment until the facts have been established.
“Manchester United does not condone violence of any kind.”
Greater Manchester Police confirmed officers were investigating the claims.
A spokesperson for the force added: “Greater Manchester Police is aware of images and videos circulating on social media.
“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.”
Charity Women’s Aid issued a statement in response to the claims which read: “Distressing posts being circulated on social media today #MasonGreenwood.
“It is essential that all employers, including those in football, take domestic abuse very seriously and we hope Man Utd do in this case.
“Solidarity with Harriet Robson. #FootballUnitedAgainstDomesticViolence.”
Greenwood joined the club at the age of six and progressed through the academy ranks.
He made his first start in 2019 and became Man Utd’s youngest ever goal scorer in a European competition at the age of 17 years and 353 days against Astana.
The forward has since clocked 129 appearances for the Red Devils, netting 22 goals.
Greenwood also represented England several times as an under-17 and under-21 before being named in the England senior squad in August 2020.
He is the fifth most valuable player in Europe at £119million.
