Former Manchester United player Mason Greenwood to play for Jamaica

Mason Greenwood has changed his international allegiance from England to Jamaica.

The decision comes after the Football Association (FA) made it clear that the former Manchester United star would not be considered for future selection for the Three Lions following a suspension due to charges of attempted rape, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and controlling and coercive behavior three years ago.

Despite these charges being dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service and Greenwood reviving his career with Getafe and now Marseille, he was informed that he would not be selected for the Three Lions again.

Having completed the necessary paperwork, Greenwood is now available for Steve McClaren’s Reggae Boyz.

The 23-year-old qualifies for the Reggae Boyz through his father, who was born in Jamaica.

As Greenwood won his only England cap while under the age of 21, he is able to switch allegiances.

Although the Boyz have two games next month, Marseille are unwilling to release Greenwood as the fixtures are friendlies.

However, Greenwood is expected to be named in the former England manager’s squad for the first time for the World Cup qualifiers in June, according to the Daily Star.

Greenwood moved to Marseille from United last summer in a £27m deal and is currently the leading scorer in Ligue 1 this season with 12 goals. (SportsMax)
