Mason Greenwood has officially switched his nationality and will now represent one of the top national teams.

Mason Greenwood is contemplating the possibility of restarting his international career with Jamaica, as he is still eligible to switch his allegiance from England, even though he has not yet played for Jamaica at the international level.

 

Greenwood’s club prospects, which were previously clouded by serious allegations of attempted rape, controlling behavior, and assault, have become clearer after Manchester United’s decision to release the 21-year-old.

 

Following a six-month internal investigation, the club opted to assist Greenwood in finding new opportunities, with loan deals appearing more likely than a permanent transfer.

 

Roma has surfaced as a possible destination for Greenwood, providing an opportunity to reconnect with former manager Jose Mourinho. Additionally, loan discussions have started with Atalanta, Inter, Monaco, and clubs in Germany, Turkey, Spain, and the Saudi Pro League.

 

Although Greenwood made 135 first-team appearances by the age of 20, his international experience is limited. His England debut in 2020 was marred by controversy when he and Phil Foden were sent home for violating Covid-19 protocols.

 

Efforts to reintegrate Greenwood into the England setup, including conversations with manager Gareth Southgate, were obstructed by his arrest and ongoing legal issues.

 

Moreover, there were reports of dissatisfaction within his camp regarding media coverage, despite his lack of international appearances.

 

Greenwood’s potential switch to Jamaica is connected to his heritage, with the Jamaica Football Federation expressing interest since 2021.

 

FIFA regulations permit players to change national teams as long as they have not participated in more than three senior international matches before turning 21, a rule amended in 2020 to allow greater flexibility.

 

While Greenwood’s past has been characterized by controversy and missed chances, he now has the opportunity for a fresh start with Jamaica if he decides to pursue this path within FIFA’s guidelines.
