Mason Greenwood Has Decided To Change His Nationality To Play For One Of The Top National Teams In International Competitions.
Greenwood, who has only appeared once for England against Iceland in September 2020, is currently on loan at Getafe and is unlikely to be selected by Gareth Southgate for the Euro 2024 tournament in June.
After the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges against him in February 2023—charges of attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behavior, and assault resulting in actual bodily harm, all of which he denied—the 22-year-old chose to continue his career away from Manchester United and joined Getafe.
There have been reports over the past few years suggesting that the Jamaican Football Federation (JFF) would welcome Greenwood’s decision to represent Jamaica instead of England. Greenwood is eligible to play for Jamaica through his father, Andrew.
Manager Hallgrimsson confirmed Greenwood’s potential inclusion in the Jamaican team during a CONCACAF Nations League preview event in Dallas on Tuesday. He expressed his desire to have Greenwood on the team but emphasized that the final decision rests with the player himself.
Since joining Getafe in September, Greenwood has made a significant impact, contributing five assists and seven goals. His impressive performances have sparked rumors of a potential summer transfer to Barcelona.
United’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has indicated that the team will assess Greenwood’s future at the end of the season.It seems Greenwood’s career has taken quite a turn since his loan to Getafe. His performances there have been impressive, leading to rumors of a potential transfer to Barcelona. It’s also interesting that Jamaica is eyeing him for their national team, especially given his eligibility through his father. United’s stance on his future adds another layer to the story.
