MANCHESTER United star Matheus Cunha's wife gave birth by caesarean section so he could join his new team on a pre-season tour.
Lawyer Gabriela asked doctors to bring forward the arrival of their second child.
Brazilian star Cunha, 26, was able to join her when she went into hospital on Monday.
He then linked up with United players for a flight to the US.
The Cunhas shared pictures on Instagram following the safe arrival of daughter Liz, alongside brother Levi, five.
The £62.5million striker was seen in hospital scrubs in one image.
He wrote: "Hello world I'm Liz. And we are four now.
"I am very blessed to have you. Thanks God for everything."
Among those to offer their best wishes to the family were his new team-mates Bruno Fernandes and Joshua Zirkzee and ex-United defender Rio Ferdinand.
Cunha signed for United from Wolves last month after they triggered his release clause.
A source said:"Gabriela knew how important it was for Matheus to be able to go on the pre-season tour to get to know his team-mates before the start of the season.
"They discussed it as a couple and the doctors agreed to book her in for an elective C-section on Monday, so Matheus could be at her side.
"He's now joined his team-mates and knows that friends and family will help look after Gabriela and their new baby until he returns home."
Cunha, in team strip, had made his Manchester United debut against Leeds in a friendly in Stockholm on Saturday. United arrived in Chicago on Tuesday night.
They will play three fixtures against West Ham United, Bournemouth and Everton, before returning to play Fiorentina at Old Trafford on August 9.
They kick off their Premier League season on August 17 against Arsenal.
Cunha and Gabriela married in May 2024 in a ceremony in their home city of Natal, Brazil.
He later said:"It was very emotional. I cried a lot! I saw my whole family there, my son . . . it was beautiful. My wife is amazing. It was a wonderful moment!"
