Buttner completes Dynamo Moscow move
Posted Sunday, June 29, 2014 by Talksport.co.uk
Manchester United left-back Alexander Buttner has completed his awaited switch to Dynamo Moscow.
The 25-year-old, signed by Sir Alex Ferguson from Vitesse Arnhem in 2012, moves to the Russian capital for a reported £4million, a fee which could rise to £5.6million.
Buttner was limited to just 28 Red Devils appearances in two seasons at Old Trafford, having played second fiddle to regular full-back Patrice Evra, and was judged surplus to requirements at Old Trafford following the £27million arrival of Southampton’s Luke Shaw.
In a bold statement upon his exit, the Dutchman seemed to take a swipe at United’s disastrous Premier League season, in which they finished in seventh place and failed to qualify for European competition.
Buttner said: "I want to play in the Champions League, win trophies.
"Dynamo are a very strong team and I am confident that we will fight for first place this season."
