Borussia Dortmund attacker Mario Gotze is confident that his club will cope with the departure of Shinji Kagawa.

Japanese international Kagawa brought an end to his two-year stint with Dortmund earlier this summer by agreeing to join Premier League side Manchester United.

Despite admitting that Dortmund have lost a "really good player", Gotze believes that between himself and new signing Marco Reus, they will be able to fill the void left by Kagawa.

"There is no question that [Kagawa] is a really good player," the 20-year-old told Bild. "But I believe that we, as a team, have the players to compensate for his departure.

"It is true that I personally prefer to play as a No.10, because I've played there in my youth, but we have Marco Reus and other really good players that can play in that position."

Kagawa recently opened his goalscoring account as a Man United player.
