Jamaica coach Steve McClaren is confident Marseille’s former Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood still wants to play for the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

Greenwood has a single England cap but Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham has confirmed the 23-year-old has said he intends to switch allegiances<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The process has been held up because the documentation required by the Jamaican Football Federation is still to be received.<\/p>\n

It was hoped the switch was going to be concluded by the summer, when Jamaica play two friendlies in the United Kingdom before starting their World Cup qualifying campaign in June and then, potentially, featuring in the Concacaf Gold Cup.<\/p>\n

That is no longer certain and Greenwood – currently second in the Ligue 1 scoring charts with 15 goals – is now experiencing issues at his French club, who signed him from United on a five-year contract last July.<\/p>\n

Marseille coach Roberto de Zerbi dropped the forward for the weekend defeat by Lens, saying Greenwood is “too inconsistent” and “if someone trains badly, they won’t play, no matter what their name is”.<\/p>\n

But McClaren, who managed England from 2006-07 and has been in charge of Jamaica since last year, said: “We are in contact all the time, with him (Greenwood) and his family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
