After FIFA 20 the cover of eFootball PES 2020 is now known. Why the player choice for the cover brings Liverpool fans to laughter, you will find out here.
EA Sports has entered a long-term partnership with FC Liverpool and has showcased Virgil Van Dijk for the cover of the Champions Edition of FIFA 20. Konami is doing something similar and is forming a partnership with Manchester United for PES 2020.
As a result, a Manchester player will be on the PES cover. The difference from FIFA: No one knows the Manchester player!
These players are on the cover: Together with Lionel Messi, Miralem Pjanic, and Bayern star Serge Gnabry, a relatively unknown player has made it to the cover: Scott McTominay.
A pretty unusual choice, since McTominay has only played 31 competitive matches for the Red Devils so far and is likely unknown to many.
Who is Scott McTominay? The 22-year-old Scot has been playing for Manchester United since his youth. He made the leap to the first team in 2017 and has since been a regular member of the squad.
So he is certainly not a bad player, but compared to Liverpool’s Van Dijk, who is known worldwide now, the unknown McTominay is not a star player.
FIFA 20 has the world’s best defender on the cover, PES has Scott McTominay
This is how fans are reacting: Especially the fans of the eternal league rivals FC Liverpool cannot help but laugh. After all, Virgil Van Dijk is an absolute world star compared to Scott McTominay.
People are reacting to this on the internet:
- A Liverpool fan jokes: “I can’t find the star, can someone help me?”
- Another user comments on Twitter: “McTominay? Please delete the cover before anyone else sees it.”
- Additionally, many users are asking: “Where is Ronaldo?” Especially since eFootball PES 2020 has an exclusive license for Juventus Turin.
- One more fan is wondering: “Who is the guy in the Manchester jersey?”

Memories of the PES 2008 cover awaken
This is how it was back then: In 2008, Konami made a pretty strange decision for the German cover of PES 2008. Alongside the young Cristiano Ronaldo, Bayern player Jan Schlaudraff adorned the cover of the FIFA rival.
Particularly curious: At that time, he had not played a single match for Bayern. That he was still on the cover surprised many.
Jan, who? Schlaudraff played two successful years at Alemannia Aachen and moved to FC Bayern Munich for the 2007/2008 season. However, he never managed to establish himself there. He scored no goals in 8 games, which is not a good return for a forward.
Today, Jan Schlaudraff is the sporting director at the second division club Hannover 96.
