MASON GREENWOOD ended his goalscoring drought in a timely reminder to new England boss Thomas Tuchel.

The forward made a fast start to life in Ligue 1 after joining Marseille, scoring five goals in his first three games.

But Greenwood then went on a barren run of four games without a goal.

However it appears the international break did him good as he returned to form with a goal and an assist in Marseille's 5-0 demolition of Montpellier.

Greenwood showed devastating pace and trickery to beat his man before firing low past the goalkeeper on his weaker foot to score Marseille's fourth.

The former Manchester United star has proved himself to be a key player already for Roberto De Zerbi's side.

And Greenwood wants to know if his form could lead to an England recall following the appointment of Tuchel, SunSport revealed.

If not, Greenwood 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.”
