Mason Greenwood is reportedly 'obsessed' with representing England again, despite Steve McLaren holding out hope he will switch allegiance to Jamaica. The former Manchester United forward is currently thriving in Ligue 1 with Marseille.
Having made the switch from the Red Devils last summer, the 24-year-old has 31 goals and 10 assists from 51 outings. This season alone, he has also found the back of the net eight times from 11 outings, while setting up a further three.
And given how he has found his footing on French soil as of late, it is suggested that the Bradford-born striker is infatuated with the idea of playing for the Three Lions again - with his only cap for the nation coming in the form of a slender win over Iceland in 2020. As per the Daily Mail, Greenwood is 'obsessed' with the idea of returning to international football with England.
That's despite McLaren claiming that he was set to join Jamaica for a recent training camp, as the nation look to qualify for the 2026 World Cup in North America. Speaking about Greenwood, the 64-year-old said: "We acquired a passport and we expected him to be coming to this camp.
"But in a conversation with his family, he's not going to commit at this time to anybody. He's 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."
