Kind of.
Ousmane Dembele is one of the most promising prospects in world soccer, and that talent earned him a big money move to Borussia Dortmund this summer. Today, his new team played Manchester United in a preseason friendly in China, and Dembele showed off those skills by ending the career of Marcos Rojo.

To put the cherry on top, he scored at the end of it all. Hopefully, Marcos Rojo can earn a transfer to a club where players seven years his junior can’t do that to him.
Dortmund has just re-signed Mario Gotze, and today added Andre Schurrle from Wolfsburg. Thomas Tuchel’s team may have lost some key players from last year’s squad, but on this evidence, they’re probably going to be just fine.
Although Dembele is setting himself up nicely for his future huge transfer to Bayern Munich.
