OM’s new headliner, Mason Greenwood, has made a radical decision.
It’s the controversial transfer of the summer: the arrival in Marseille of Mason Greenwood, from Manchester United, two years after this dark affair of domestic violence which stopped his meteoric rise across the Channel. The young English winger begins a new chapter of his career, in more ways than one.
The rumor has been circulating for the past few days, and it has been confirmed by all the British media this weekend: Mason Greenwood will soon change his sporting nationality. According to The Athletic, the English Football Association (FA) has already been asked to forward the prodigious striker’s request to the Jamaican Federation so that the approach to FIFA can be made official.
McClaren’s weight
Through his paternal grandparents, Mason Greenwood has Jamaican blood and meets the FA criteria to qualify for such a switch – he played just one game for the Three Lions – in September 2020 against Iceland – when he was 18. At the time, despite his talent, he had alienated manager Gareth Southgate for having broken health regulations during the pandemic, like a certain Phil Foden.
The arrival at the helm of the Reggae Boyz of Steeve McClaren would have weighed in the choice of the boy if we are to believe the English press. Determined today to turn his back on England, where he is no longer welcome anyway, Mason Greenwood should succeed in his ends regarding his application for Jamaican nationality, even if the process should take a little time – if only to obtain a passport in good and due form.
