Jamaica is considering approaching Mason Greenwood to play international matches for the Caribbean island, the Daily Mail knows. According to English reports, the Jamaicans think they have a chance with the 21-year-old talent, now that his departure from Manchester United has been announced. On Monday it was announced that the Red Devils and Greenwood are separating after an extensive six-month investigation. The attacker can therefore not only look for a new employer, but may also get the chance to revive his international career as a Jamaica attacker.
It is still unknown how Greenwood, a single international from England, will face an international career with Jamaica. Due to its roots and limited number of international matches, a switch is technically possible in any case. In the past, the island has made unsuccessful attempts to snare the Bradford-born winger. Always regarded as one of the greatest English talents of his generation, Greenwood preferred a rich international career with his native country at the time. At the moment, however, it does not appear that Greenwood will soon receive a call-up for the Three Lions, which means that Jamaica thinks he has a chance for his services.
Greenwood, who played his last game for United in January 2022, will not serve his contract in Manchester until mid-2025. The English superpower has decided in consultation with the attacker that he will continue his career elsewhere. Greenwood was arrested and suspended early last year over allegations of rape and assault against his girlfriend, with whom he has since had a child. All charges were dropped last February. United conducted its own internal investigation, accessing “evidence that was inaccessible to the public.”
Response United
The club of manager Erik ten Hag issued an extensive statement explaining how it came to the decision to say goodbye to Greenwood. “Our trial began in February 2023, after all charges against Mason were dropped. Throughout the process, we have taken into account the wishes, rights and perspective of the alleged victim, along with the values of the club, and tried to gather as much information and context as possible. This has forced us to exercise caution in obtaining evidence that is not public, including from people with direct knowledge of the case.”
“Based on the available evidence, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a complete picture and that Mason did not commit the offenses for which he was originally charged. That said, as he publicly acknowledges today, Mason has made mistakes for which he takes responsibility.” “Everyone involved, including Mason, recognize that it is difficult for him to resume his career at Manchester United. That’s why it was mutually agreed that it would be best for him to do that outside Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to make that happen.” Where Greenwood will continue his career remains to be seen. soon the chance to play international matches again.
