Departing Man Utd fullback Buttner: Dynamo Moscow best choice

Manchester United fullback Alexander Buttner is excited about his move to Dynamo Moscow.

Dynamo Moscow have agreed terms with Buttner, which the club officially confirmed last night.

A fee is still to be settled with United, but Buttner expects negotiations to be smooth.

"I like to play in the Champions League and win prizes," said Buttner.

"I already knew Dynamo were a very strong team and I am sure that we will compete for the national title. I've been with Balázs Dzsudzsák and Douglas, playing in the Dutch league, so I know a bit.

"Together, we must be strong for this team. I am now for the first time in Moscow and I do need to get used to it. Yesterday my mother and some of my family arrived.

"We had a ride through Moscow, dined in a restaurant: a great experience. I think the facilities here at Dynamo are also exquisite. There is an elegant swimming pool, a gym and a great ground, I'm glad I've made this choice."
