Manchester United fans are going to love this - Alex Buttner, signed by the club as a backup left back nearly two years ago is leaving Old Trafford in order to play Champions League football.
Buttner has agreed terms with Dynamo Moscow and is set to sign with them as soon as "technical details" are worked out according to Dynamo's website.
I want to play in the Champions League and win trophies.
In Dynamo, I have selected a very strong team. I am confident that we can fight for the championship next season.
Last week, Buttner attacked Louis van Gaal for not giving him a chance with the Dutch national team.
Players leaving Utd because of the lack of top flight European football was always a possibility. But Alex Buttner was probably the last player the club's fans envisioned losing because of it.
