Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood could be set for a dramatic international career change, with reports suggesting he may represent Jamaica in the future.
Greenwood's Potential Switch to Jamaica
The 22-year-old, currently on loan at Getafe, has not played for England since his arrest in January 2022, though charges were later dropped. Under FIFA rules, Greenwood could still switch national teams if he meets eligibility criteria—his father was born in Jamaica.
Five-Year Wait for Eligibility
If Greenwood does not play for England in the next five years, he would be free to represent Jamaica. This would mark a significant shift in his international career, having previously been considered a future star for the Three Lions.
Jamaica's Interest in Greenwood
The Jamaican Football Federation has reportedly shown interest in recruiting Greenwood, who would bolster their attacking options alongside Premier League stars like Michail Antonio and Leon Bailey.
What This Means for England
England manager Gareth Southgate has remained tight-lipped on Greenwood's international future. With fierce competition for forward spots, Greenwood's path back to the England squad appears uncertain.
Greenwood's Club Future
While his international future hangs in the balance, Greenwood continues to rebuild his career in Spain with Getafe. Manchester United will face a decision on his long-term future when his loan spell ends.
