Mason Greenwood completes international swap to Jamaica | OneFootball

Former Manchester United player Mason Greenwood has reportedly completed the necessary paperwork to commit his international future to Jamaica.

The United academy product was sold to Olympique de Marseille in the summer and things have started very well for him under Roberto De Zerbi.

The French club sit second in Ligue 1 and Greenwood has been in outstanding form, scoring 12 goals. In the process he has become the division’s top scorer.

It had seemed that there might be a lifeline for Greenwood’s England future when it was reported that he wanted to play for the national side under Thomas Tuchel but it appears highly unlikely a recall to the setup is on the cards after his infamous legal issues.

Therefore, it was reported in the summer that Greenwood was considering joining former United coach Steve McClaren in the Jamaican national team, as he qualifies for the nation due to his grandparents.

Moreover, at a press conference in November, McClaren commented that Greenwood wanted to play for the country and that they were in the process of sorting the move.

The Daily Star now report that “Mason Greenwood has switched international allegiances from England to Jamaica.”

“The former Manchester United striker has turned his back on England after the FA made it clear he would never be considered for selection again.”

Greenwood has now “completed the necessary paperwork” to be available for the Reggae Boys and was able to complete the transfer as he has only played one match for the England national team.

This means that he is theoretically available to make his debut for the Caribbean side next month.

Nonetheless, Marseille are reportedly not releasing him for the fixtures as they are only friendly matches.

Therefore, Greenwood will likely need to wait until June for his debut where they have World Cup qualifier fixtures against the British Virgin Islands and Guatemala.
