The future of Mason Greenwood’s international football career is still up in the air as he navigates the decision of whether to represent England or Jamaica. The Olympique Marseille star is reportedly planning to have a conversation with England head coach Thomas Tuchel to gauge his chances of playing for the national team before making a final decision.
According to reports, Greenwood is hopeful that a change in leadership with Tuchel taking over in January could increase his chances of representing England on a senior level. However, if this opportunity does not materialize, Greenwood is said to be open to accepting an invitation from Reggae Boyz coach Steve McClaren to play for Jamaica.
The 22-year-old’s international future has been in question following legal issues earlier this year, but with the charges now dropped, Greenwood is eager to continue his career at the highest level, potentially aiming for the World Cup.
Greenwood’s eligibility to play for Jamaica stems from his Jamaican-born father, and he is considering this option as a pathway to the 2026 World Cup if his chances with England are limited.
It will be interesting to see how Greenwood’s discussions with Tuchel and his decision-making process unfold in the coming months as he weighs his options for international representation. Jamaica, a nation with a rich football history, last qualified for the World Cup in 1998, and Greenwood could be a valuable addition to their squad in the future.
