Mason Greenwood's England future decided?! Marseille star told the 'ball is in his court' as Steve McClaren reveals talks over Jamaica pledge

The Football Association’s (FA) chief executive, Mark Bullingham, recently confirmed that Greenwood had expressed his intention to change allegiance to Jamaica, where he would link up with former England manager Steve McClaren. However, the Jamaican Football Federation (JFF) has yet to receive the necessary paperwork to complete the switch, raising doubts over whether Greenwood will follow through with his decision, The Mirror reports.

The JFF had been hopeful that Greenwood’s eligibility would be settled before the nation's 2026 World Cup qualifiers in June and the forward was also seen as a potential key player for their CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign. However, due to delays in documentation, his involvement in these competitions is no longer guaranteed.

Despite the uncertainty, Jamaica manager McClaren remains optimistic that Greenwood is fully committed to representing the Caribbean nation.

"We are in contact all the time, with him and his family,” he said. "I am very confident he only wants to play for Jamaica. It is up to him when he moves forward with that. The ball is in his court."

McClaren, who previously worked at Manchester United as an assistant coach, took charge of Jamaica’s national team last year. Under his leadership, the JFF has actively pursued dual-nationality players to strengthen the squad, with Greenwood viewed as a major addition.

Greenwood has recently been under scrutiny after Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi left him out of the squad for last weekend’s loss to Lens, citing concerns over his training performances. This decision has sparked speculation over Greenwood’s place in the starting XI ahead of their high-stakes clash against league leaders Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday. With Marseille pushing for a top-two finish, fans will be eager to see whether Greenwood earns his spot in the squad for the crucial fixture.
