There’s talk of Mason Greenwood returning to the national team. But not with England.
“Jamaica national soccer team coach Haimir Hallgrimson is keen to offer Manchester United striker Greenwood a return to the national team,” the UK’s Mirror reported on June 6.
Jamaica, not England. Greenwood played for England’s youth national team. He also played for the senior national team in the 2020 UEFA Nations League.
However, because his father’s nationality is Jamaican, he is reportedly eligible to play for Jamaica as well. “Greenwood is eligible to play for Jamaica because of his father’s nationality,” the outlet said. Under current FIFA rules, Greenwood is allowed to change his nationality,” the outlet explained.
Jamaica national team coach Hall Grimson also wants Greenwood: “I don’t like to talk about what ifs, but it’s on my mind. I want Greenwood in my team, it’s up to the player whether he wants it or not,” he said. Mourinho has made it clear that he wants Greenwood in his team.
Greenwood was a highly touted prospect for United. The former United youth product burst onto the scene in the 2019-20 season with a stellar performance. With 10 goals and one assist in the league, he was touted as the heir apparent to Ryan Giggs.
The following season, he continued his form with seven goals, but his career was cut short by sexual assault and battery allegations. Greenwood hasn’t been seen on the field since midway through the 2021-22 season. It wasn’t until the start of this season under new coach Eric Ten Haag that the investigation was concluded and Greenwood was cleared of any wrongdoing.
The club conducted its own investigation ahead of the season, which led to Greenwood’s reinstatement to the team, but it was met with opposition, including from 카지노 the United Women’s team. In the end, Greenwood went on a season-long loan to Getafe. Despite being out of action for a year and a half, Greenwood’s eight goals and five assists on the season have shown that she is back in form.
Greenwood’s future is a big question mark. The club has entered a new era with the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe as co-owner. Initially, Greenwood was expected to return to the club after his loan spell at Getafe ended, but Ratcliffe left the door open for a return to the club, saying, “We need to get the facts right and make a fair decision with the right values.”
With allegations of sexual assault and battery and a decline in form, Greenwood’s chances of returning to the England squad are effectively zero. It will be interesting to see if Greenwood responds to an open call from the Jamaican national team.
