Playing Football Manager on the go has never been that easy. Not every laptop is powerful enough to handle the game, and those that are can rarely be pulled out on a busy train to let you take on your next big game.

That's where FM 20 Touch comes in. It is a streamlined version perfect for an iPad and a Nintendo Switch.
