Mason Greenwood has changed his nationality today and now he will play for one of the biggest national teams
With Jamaica, Mason Greenwood might be able to get his international career back on track.
It has been a secret for a while that Mason Greenwood plays for Jamaica instead of England, but he can still change his allegiance and play for Jamaica in the future.
As of this week, Manchester United broke up with the 21-year-old. Greenwood was arrested and charged with attempted rape, controlling behaviour, and attack more than 18 months ago. This makes his future at the club a little clearer.
The Crown Prosecution Service said in February 2023 that there was no longer a good chance of conviction because important witnesses had dropped their charges and “new material came to light.” This week, Greenwood made a fake claim that he was freed when in fact he wasn’t. He wasn’t found guilty of the crimes he was accused of in court.
The company looked at Greenwood’s work for six months and then chose to help him find another job. So far, teams that are interested would rather have a loan than a permanent move, even though a permanent move is what is wanted.
This week, 90min said that Roma is a club that might be open to giving Greenwood a chance to start his career. That would make him want to work with Jose Mourinho again. It’s not just Inter and Monaco who have talked to the player about a move. Teams in Germany, Turkey, and Spain have also done so. The Saudi Pro League is still likely to be on the lookout.
Greenwood hasn’t played much for his country’s senior team, even though he played in 135 first-team club games before his career ended.
He played his first game for England in September 2020, in a UEFA Nations League match against Iceland. But after two days, he and Phil Foden broke the rules for Covid-19 isolation in the team hotel before going to Denmark. They were embarrassed and were kicked out of the country.
The Daily Mail says that when England manager Gareth Southgate met with Greenwood, the player’s family, and Manchester United officials in the autumn of 2021, he was ready to forget about what happened in Iceland. Young players can get a second chance from Southgate if they say they have “good intentions.” The meeting is said to have given Greenwood a plan for how to get back on the England team as a player instead of a starting.
Greenwood wasn’t picked at that point, and his camp is said to not have liked all the press he got for being called up but maybe not playing. Greenwood was put on a makeshift team for Euro 2020, but he didn’t show up because of an illness that wasn’t made clear.
As 2022 started, there were rumours that Southgate was still trying to get Greenwood back into the team, with the World Cup as a goal. But when Greenwood was arrested and charged, all attempts were stopped.
After being suspended by Manchester United, Greenwood hasn’t played in a professional game since January 22, 2022. He also hasn’t trained with a professional club team.
“Greenwood might not play for England at all,” says The Mail. This is true even if he gets his career back on track and gets a chance to play for England. He could have decided to serve Jamaica instead because of his family history. The Jamaica Football Federation has been interested since 2021, and Greenwood was recently seen wearing the team’s clothes.
Greenwood could switch teams as long as he followed FIFA’s rules for playing for a country.
People can switch teams as long as they haven’t played more than three competitive senior international games before they turn 21. The rules were changed in 2020. In the past, if someone played in a senior international game, they had to stay with that country. He played his only game for England when he was 18 years old.
