MASON GREENWOOD wants Thomas Tuchel to tell him if he stands a chance of being part of his England revolution.
Tuchel has been named as Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions successor on an 18-month deal.
The German will not take over as boss until January 1 — but Marseille star Greenwood hopes a change of regime could see him add to his one senior cap.
If not, the former Manchester United forward will accept Steve McClaren’s invitation to switch allegiance and play for Jamaica.
Greenwood’s international future has been in limbo since he spent 18 months out of the game after being charged with attempted rape, assault and coercive behaviour in January 2022. The charges were later dropped.
A source told SunSport: “Mason knows his chances of playing for England again are very slim. But he wants to check with the FA and Tuchel now he has been appointed, to see what they think.
“He is determined to play at the highest level and that means the World Cup.
“So if England don’t want him, he’ll switch to Jamaica and try and get to the 2026 World Cup that way.”
Greenwood knew he would not play for England — where he won his only cap against Iceland in 2020 — again under Southgate.
He left United following a club investigation and spent last season on loan at Spanish side Getafe before moving to Marseille for £26.6million this summer.
Greenwood, expecting his second child, has scored five times this season. Despite winning a cap with England, Fifa allow players to switch if they have played fewer than four competitive appearances before the age of 21.
Therefore, Greenwood can play for Jamaica — who he qualifies for through his dad.
Reggae Boyz boss McClaren plans to try and recruit foreign-born stars in the Prem to play for his team.
After being appointed in the summer, he said: “I had a little chat with Mason.
“I will be making sure that we have a conversation with all the players. We have a list.”
Jamaica last qualified for the World Cup in 1998.
