MASON GREENWOOD has officially asked to switch allegiances from England to Jamaica.
Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham has confirmed that the former Manchester United striker, now playing for Marseille, has asked to represent the Reggae Boyz.

Bullingham said: “My understanding is that he’s asked to switch.
“That’s happened formally, so he wouldn’t be able to (play for England again) because you can only switch once.
“It’s a personal decision by him.”
The 23-year-old has qualified to represent Jamaica through his father, who was born in the Caribbean nation.
Greenwood’s only appearance for the Three Lions came when he was still under the age of 21 in 2020, which allows him to switch allegiances as per Fifa rules.
That game was against Iceland but his international career has been in limbo since he was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault in January 2022.
He was later charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, but all charges were dropped in February 2023.
Jamaica, now managed by former England boss Steve McClaren, are all set to play two matches next month.
