RASHFORD JOINS MESSI AND RONALDO ON PES 2021 COVER

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford will be one of four players to feature on the front cover of Konami’s eFootball PES 2021 Season Update.

The England international joins an elite group of stars as the promotional players for the eFootball PES franchise, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo also set to adorn the front cover of the much-loved game.

The Barcelona and Juventus idols will also be accompanied by Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, who is fresh from winning the Champions League with the German giants.

Rashford’s inclusion as PES Ambassador showcases the United frontman’s global popularity and iconic status in football.

The striker scored 22 goals for the Reds in 2019/20, despite missing large portions of the campaign with a back injury.

As part of the eFootball PES franchise's 25th anniversary, Konami are also releasing an official Manchester United edition of PES 2021, which contains various United-themed items, including an Iconic Moment Series player and a menu theme.

The Manchester United edition features the Reds' full squad, including several players rendered in-game using real face data.

Gamers will also be able to experience the most faithful recreation of Old Trafford ever seen in a video game, thanks to a detailed construction of the “Theatre of Dreams” that United fans will love.
