Mason Greenwood has chosen to switch his international allegiance from England to Jamaica after the FA confirmed he would not be considered for future selections.
The decision follows a series of controversies that affected Greenwood’s career.
He was suspended by Manchester United due to serious allegations, including attempted rape, assault, and controlling behavior.
Although he denied the charges, which were ultimately dropped, the ramifications of the situation led to his departure from the club.
Greenwood subsequently signed with Marseille, where he has been trying to revive his career.
Despite strong performances in Spain with Getafe and in France with Marseille, England made it clear they would not call him up again due to the negative publicity surrounding his past.
This decision pushed Greenwood to turn to Jamaica, where he qualifies through his father.
The striker has completed the necessary paperwork to represent Jamaica and is expected to be included in Steve McClaren’s squad for the first time in June.
Greenwood is currently the top scorer in Ligue 1 with 12 goals and he is expected to make his debut for Jamaica later this year, though Marseille will not release him for upcoming friendlies.
