Nobody knows what will happen to the hundreds of UK-based European footballers when Britain leaves the EU, but one popular gaming franchise has decided to explore the possibilities by building new 'Brexit scenarios' into the gameplay.

Miles Jacobson, director of the Football Manager franchise, told Dan Damon how he came up with the idea. (Photo: Manchester United's Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho.
