Cruel Ousmane Dembélé video goes viral with Manchester United fans

Ousmane Dembele has not had the best of times at Barcelona and this cruel compilation video really rubs salt in the wounds

He’s won a World Cup, for crying out loud

Ousmane Dembélé has been linked with a move to Manchester United by numerous media outlets, because he’s a winger and United need a winger. He’s also out of favour at Barcelona and has been for a long time. His time in Spain has been ravaged by injuries that have prevented him hitting his best form we all know he is capable of.

Twitter is no place for nuance though. No, Twitter is a place for sensationalist statements that attract engagement and thus virality. That’s just how it works. We don’t make the rules.

Speaking of sensationalist sentiment in search of virality, a rather cruel compilation video of Ousmane Dembélé bloopers has been doing the rounds on Twitter. It’s an absurd simplification of something quite complicated, just like GOALS | ASSISTS | SKILL MOVES | WELCOME TO MANCHESTER UNITED videos.

But, it is quite funny. The music really adds to it. Sorry, Ousmane.
