Alexander Buttner has confirmed that he is leaving Manchester United for Russian outfit Dynamo Moscow.
Buttner has struggled to get a foothold at Old Trafford since his arrival in 2012. He has managed only 28 appearances in his two seasons at the club and suffered a blow after the man who signed him, Sir Alex Ferguson, retired in 2013.
With Patrice Evra’s contract renewal and talk of signing a new left-back at Old Trafford, the 25-year-old's future at the club has been uncertain.
However, the Dutch full-back has confirmed that he is leaving the Red Devils for Dynamo Moscow and is set to put pen to paper on a three-year deal.
The former Vitesse man feels that Dynamo Moscow will provide him with the opportunity of playing in the Champions League again.
