There’s poetry to Manchester United becoming one of eFootball PES 2020’s flagship teams. On the one hand, Konami will be delighted to swap Manchester Red with an officially licensed edition of the Premier League club, but as the Old Trafford team’s fortunes dwindle, perhaps there’s some justice to it being featured heavily in the second-best selling football franchise on the market.
Regardless, legendary players like David Beckham and Park Ji-Sung will be fully represented in the final product, while the majority of the current squad will be 3D scanned. Up-and-coming Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay has signed on as an ambassador, while a new mode called Matchday will “allow MUFC fans to come together for weekly events to compete in the biggest matches”.
Of course, this all means that current European champions Liverpool will not be continuing its partnership with PES. As much as it pains us to write it, the Anfield team probably has bigger commercial deals to seal these days.

It pains you that Liverpool is more lucrative than Manchester United?
Glad to hear it!
YNWA!
This is a delicious article
"Europa League giants" 😂🤣
I'm a bit miffed that the Premier leagues 1 proper team is Man Red. Even when they have absolutely stunk the prem out they get mentioned all the time on sky sports and talk sport. I would rather it be Wolves, Everton or Leicester tbh. You know the other teams fighting for 6th place too.
"Europa League Giants" is a bit of an oxymoron, isn't it?
Some good banter here. YMCA
Atleast you can console yourself that Liverpool last won the league before the passback rule was introduced.
If only Mourinho were still around. Could've had a press conference mini-game.
@get2sammyb "europa league giants" oooh burn
Pro Devolution Soccer.
Either Liverpool have bigger commercial things to sign or PES can't afford them anymore...
No Middlesbrough = No buy!
@Sinton YMCA? As in, “Yeah, Man City ArenowmuchbettethanManU”?
Where are the mighty mid table giants West Ham, and the mighty Mark Noble, get the right licences Konami. 😡
@get2sammyb Quite a few people here who seem anti-United and rubbing salt in the wound with the Liverpool comments, would it be so harsh to give them a temporary holiday away from the site? 😄
I like the player models in the recent PES games, they just look more realistic and life-like compared to FIFA but that’s all it’s got going for it for me, still prefer FIFA always have done even before PES existed.
My favourite article on push square ever 😂
As if we needed another way in which PES outshines FIFA.
Love the title, but not only are Liverpool the Champions League giants, they are the Europa League giants as well, seeing as they've won it three times - United only won it once
It's bad enough that Utd are reduced to striking such deals, but even then, the best they can offer are Becks, Park and McTominay in the press details....this is such fun to watch 😁😁
@Kienda City are the biggest team in Manchester now, Utd's glory days are over.
