Alexander Buttner confirms Man Utd departure

Alexander Buttner has confirmed he is set to leave Manchester United.

The Dutch left-back is ready to sign for Dinamo Moscow.

The 25-year-old told De Telegraaf: "Van Gaal never gave me the chance in the Dutch national team, despite being voted man of the match 14 times at Manchester United.

"Apparently, he is not very confident about me. So I think this is the right moment to leave."

Buttner's agent Alexander Bursac has echoed those sentiments, telling Voetbal International: "Dinamo Moscow have big plans. Staying at Manchester United was never an option this summer.

"In the last two years van Gaal has ignored him again and again. What kind of outlook is that for him?"
