It is 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 Englishman begins with a new career head, with a title to boot.

The rumor was circulating in recent days, it was confirmed by all the British media this weekend: Mason Greenwood
will soon change his sporting nationalityAccording to The Athletic, the English (Site notre blog d’information) Association (FA) has already been asked to pass on 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 has barely played one game for the Three Lions – in September 2020 against Iceland – when he was 18. The story, poor son of a talent, is the same as Gareth Southgate’s selection to open the health rules in a pandemic period, 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.
