The charges against Mason Greenwood for attempted rape and physical assault on his girlfriend have been dropped, however, the English striker will no longer play for Manchester United. Faced with the internal unease around this situation and an investigation within the club, the Reds Devils decided to dismiss the 21-year-old player from their ranks.
According to the Daily Mail, Greenwood’s priority is to find a club. For now, it is a national selection that has approached the former Reds Devils. After a failed approach in 2021, Jamaica returned to see the ex-England international play for the Reggae Boyz. With FIFA regulations, even if he has already played a match in official competition with the Three Lions, Mason Greenwood remains eligible to represent Jamaica, he could even be selected as early as next month. The Wibsey, England native has Jamaican ancestry through his mother.
England coach Gareth Southgate seemed to rely on the British nugget at the time. If he had missed Euro 2021 due to injury, he was already seen as the perfect replacement for Harry Kane in selection, but his legal troubles from January 2022 led the former Middlesbrough coach to review his plans and dismiss the 21-year-old.
