When you think of the footballing greats that have graced the covers of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer titles past, you surely think of the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Marco Reus, and Neymar. So, who is one of the headlining players for this year's eFootball PES 2020? None other than Manchester United's Scott McTominay.
Yes, that is correct, a player who has put in a grand total of 31 Premier League appearances for last season's sixth-place finishers has managed to make it onto the cover. To be fair, the midfielder has signed on as an ambassador for the game, but it's sort of hilarious to see him on the box art alongside a lot better players.
Did Konami waste its entire marketing budget on getting Messi again and so had to feast for scraps from one of its partners to fill the last quarter of its cover? McTominay will be joined by Barcelona's Lionel Messi, Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry, and Juventus' Miralem Pjanic.
We're sure Push Square editor Sammy Barker is chuffed with the news, but what do you think? Make the Europa League in the comments below.

I personally think it’s missing a West Ham representative like Mark James Noble
Good. PES actually making decent decisions....is this 2005?
I prefer the reversible blank cover.
Lmao...who is this guy?
McSauce!
If they’re partnering with Celtic again then Tierney deserves a spot way before McTominay. Of course, there’s plenty Man U players who deserve a spot over him so it is a bit random.
he's scored two goals for United, more than worthy
He's an up and coming youngster who's probably gonna have a stand out year. Especially if Pogba goes. Fair play to Konami for the shout. I'd have maybe preferred De Gea but I can't recall there ever being a gk on the cover. 🤔
Who cares, as long as the game is good! Demo seems decent enough so far. Still miles better than FIFA.
If they have Juventus they have me
Needs more George Friend.
Apart from Messi obviously seems odd choices all round. I presume the Ronaldo court case made things awkward as they could of had Messi and Ronaldo on the same cover!
Didn’t know Pjanic was going to be on it, it’s so awesome!
Love Miralem 🤩
The gameplay from the demos is amazing. Really captures the essence of football
