Mason Greenwood Nears Jamaica Switch After Passport

Mason Greenwood, former Manchester United forward, is poised to switch his international allegiance to Jamaica after being granted citizenship and obtaining a Jamaican passport. Five years after his only England cap at age 19, Greenwood is eligible to change teams under FIFA rules due to his limited appearances and Jamaican heritage. The final administrative step is approval from the English FA to the Jamaica Football Federation, after which he could play in Jamaica's World Cup qualifiers against Bermuda and Trinidad and Tobago. Greenwood's England career ended abruptly due to suspension and legal issues, with all charges dropped in 2023, allowing him to resume football with Getafe before joining Marseille, where he excelled last season. Jamaica, managed by Steve McClaren, is recruiting UK-raised players with Jamaican roots as part of their World Cup bid. McClaren is confident in Greenwood's commitment, leaving the final decision to the player.
