Ex-Man Utd fullback Buttner enjoys spectacular Dinamo Moscow debut

Former Manchester United defender Alexander Buttner has enjoyed a spectacular debut for Dinamo Moscow.

The Dutch fullback was sold to Dinamo during the World Cup after deciding he wouldn't get a chance under new manager Louis van Gaal.

For his debut in the Russian Premier League, Buttner took part in a ten-goal thriller, as Dinamo defeated FK Rostov 7-3.

Dinamo's signing spree isn't over and they're now in advanced talks to land Marseille midfielder Mathieu Valbuena.

The Russians are seeing off competition from West Ham United to land the France international.
