The club bought Vitesse's left-back Alexander Buttner for 5 million euros. The 23-year-old footballer is expected to take over Fabio Da Silva's place as the experienced Frenchman Patrice Evra's backup. Da Silva was loaned to Queens Park Rangers in London. Manchester United's move in the Netherlands surprised many experts, as Buttner has not yet played for the national team and has not received much attention from abroad. However, London's Queens Park Rangers and Southampton were interested in him. Last season in the Dutch championship, Buttner scored five goals in 35 matches.
