So Football Manager is getting sued by one of the biggest clubs in the world, Manchester United. Here is everything you need to know about what is being alleged and how FM, Sports Interactive, and SEGA have responded. As for what this could mean for the future after FM20 I have no idea, but the suit will set a precedent for trademarks in gaming for the foreseeable future and shape Man U’s relationship with the game.

I was hesitant to make this video - that much is clear. I felt the need was too great to inform the FM community though, with the current Football Manager ecosystem now in the balance after this began. If anything comes up after, please let me know at any of the links below!

Much love,
FM Senpai
