Mason Greenwood has been making waves since his move to Marseille in the summer. The 23-year-old's transfer to the French club in a €31.6 million deal has proven to be a smart move as he has impressed with his performance on the field. However, there is more to this story than just his success in a new league.
It seems that Greenwood is not content with just making a name for himself in France. He has his sights set on a return to the international stage, but with a twist. The forward is willing to switch national teams to Jamaica if he is not chosen to play for England under new manager Thomas Tuchel.
Greenwood has previously been capped for England, but his chances of playing for the national side again seemed slim after he was arrested in January 2022 on serious charges. However, all charges were dropped in February 2023 and his former club, Manchester United, had even considered bringing him back into their squad. Instead, Greenwood was loaned out to Spanish side Getafe last season.
Now, with his legal issues behind him, Greenwood is eager to make a return to international football. The Sun reports that he wants to have a discussion with Tuchel and the FA to see if he still has a chance to represent England. If not, he is ready to switch to Jamaica, where he would be managed by former United coach Steve McClaren.
McClaren, who was recently appointed as Jamaica's manager, has already spoken to Greenwood about the possibility of playing for the Jamaican national team. He also plans to have conversations with other players to gauge their interest and commitment to representing Jamaica.
In September, England's interim manager Lee Carsley stated that Greenwood was not under consideration for the national side. This news may have been discouraging for the young forward, but it has not dampened his determination to play at the highest level and potentially make it to the 2026 World Cup.
Greenwood's move to Marseille has opened up new opportunities for him, both on and off the field. With his impressive performance in France, it is clear that he is ready for a return to the international stage. Whether it is with England or Jamaica, Greenwood is determined to make his mark and achieve his goal of playing in the World Cup.
