After FIFA announced that apparent "football team" Manchester United [Careful, Sam - Ed] would be the official partners of FIFA 17, football fans far and wide have been in justified disgust that such a team would be allowed to be associated with the FIFA brand.
Well look no further, because PES 2017 has announced an official partnership with Glorious Liverpool FC (therefore becoming the de facto football game) in which the game will receive the Reds' stunning kits and awe-inspiring Anfield stadium, in which club anthem You'll Never Walk Alone will ring out across the stands. All of this content won't be added until a post-release update, mind – Rome wasn't built in a day, after all.
The team's exhilarating Gegenpressing style will also be faithfully reproduced in the game, so you too can win the League and Cup double this season (as Liverpool will do) and club legends God – aka Robbie Fowler – Ian Rush, and Michael Owen will be included as Legends in the game's myClub mode.
Will you be picking up PES 2017 this year, or is FIFA 17 (and therefore inferiority) more your thing? Guess which team the writer of this article supports in the comments below.

Whoops!! One of the funniest ever EPL moments.
Is right lad, defo getting PES this year after not buying any footy games for a few seasons. I'll even make Moreno into a capable left back.
Haha 😆 funny article.
I'm not buying either Fifa or Pes, I'm holding out for sociable soccer. Everton strike a deal with those guys please.
The football game of the mature connoisseur joins up with Liverpool , the money obsessed EA partner with FA cup wreckers who sold the soul of football in the SKY era. Good match ups .
So not going to be any Manu fans buying PES then.
Hadn't realised there where so many southerners on these forums.
@ferrers405 - eloquently put 👌
I hope you can man mark and change your captains armband mid game in this version.
Just a little niggle towards the Canadian and Japanese Football games designers could you not copy English game designers and programmers Paul Edward Collyer MBE and Oliver Charles "Ov" Collyer MBE and implement History of players past games goals assists caps clubs just like the original Championship Manager graced us footie fanatics with.

Am I the only person who doesn't play soccer games?
@Bhattiboy yeah that has bugged me for ages they should have some history. Its even worse when some stats dont carry over season to season in player manager mode like goals or assists in fifa.
@Link41x no my 10 month old daughter hasn't either.
