Mason Greenwood 'turned down chance to switch national teams' as England future revealed

England and Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has turned down the chance to switch international allegiances despite manager Gareth Southgate not being prepared to recall him for the national team, it has been claimed.

Greenwood, 21, remains suspended by his club while United complete an internal probe following his 2022 arrest on suspicion of rape and assault. He was subsequently further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and making threats to kill. All charges against the player were dropped in February 2023, with a subsequent statement released on his behalf saying he was "relieved that this matter is now over".

The one-cap international is eligible to represent Jamaica as well as England, and FIFA rules allow players to make switches if they have won three or fewer senior caps before the age of 21. However, according to The Sun, Greenwood is still clinging to hope of returning to the England fold at some point.
