"My understanding was that he tries to play for Jamaica so we didn't give it another thought. He was not in the mix at the moment and he is not in our thoughts for our team."
"He [Greenwood] is taking his time over that, so it's a little bit disappointing. We probably have to be more patient. But we will keep the contact, we will keep pursuing him because I know from my conversations with Mason and his family that he loves Jamaica, respects Jamaica. He wants to concentrate on club football and not commit to an international team at the present moment. We have to respect that, however much we've worked hard to get him here for these camps. So, who knows in the future."
Mason Greenwood left Manchester United after criminal charges were dropped in February 2023 and subsequently spent a loan spell at Getafe before signing permanently for Marseille in 2024, where he has scored 23 goals in 39 appearances. Greenwood earned a single England cap in a 2020 Nations League match and began the process to switch international allegiance to Jamaica, obtaining a Jamaican passport but not completing the change of association form. Jamaica coach Steve McClaren expressed frustration at Greenwood's hesitation. Thomas Tuchel has not spoken to Greenwood and Greenwood is focusing on club football rather than committing to an international team at present.
