Alexander Büttner has completed his move to Manchester United after completing his medical and agreeing personal terms, the club have announced.
Büttner has signed a five-year contract which will keep him at the club until 2017. His transfer from Vitesse Arnhem is understood to have cost in the region of £3.9m.
Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Alexander is one of the best young left backs in Europe and we're delighted to sign him. He's someone we've been watching for a while now. He gives us some really exciting options in that position."
Alexander Büttner said: "Joining Manchester United is one of the best days of my life. It's a team I have admired for many years now and I can't wait to join my teammates and play my part in helping the club be successful."
Büttner has been primarily signed to provide back-up for Patrice Evra in the left-back position. Last season was perhaps the worst season for Evra in a United shirt. His sudden dip in form had raised serious questions about his defensive abilities.
Moreover, Fabio da Silva has been loaned out to QPR for the entire season and this should be a good opportunity for Büttner to impress everyone in his debut Manchester United season. If he shows good progress, perhaps, we may see him playing regular football for United in the next 2-3 years.
David De Gea, the 19 year-old stopper who has been linked with Manchester United for several months may become a Red Devil if United agree to pay a massive £25million to Atletico Madrid.
David De Gea is a teenage sensation and may be an ideal replacement for the aging Edwin Van der Sar. However, Atletico Madrid is asking for a massive fee of £25million, which may cause the deal to fail. The recent Europa League Champions want to cash on their young star and Chelsea too are following his progress.
The 19 year-old stopper has been linked with Manchester United for several months. With veteran Edwin Van der Sar on the verge of retirement, Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for a long term replacement and De Gea has been earmarked to fill the role.
At Atletico, De Gea is known as 'Van der Gea' due to his lanky physique and agility, similar to the Dutch keeper himself.
Manchester United has been linked with many keepers so far. They include CSKA Moscow's Igor Akinfeev, Manuel Neuer from Schalke and Lyon's Hugo Lloris.
David De Gea is an awesome prospect. His concentration, positioning, aerial ability, communication and decision making are great for his age. This lanky keeper is extremely agile and has the reflexes of a cat. He also has a very good one-on-one ability and knows how to spread his body and until when to stand on his feet.
De Gea is known as a humble young guy, who works extremely hard in training. This quality may impress Sir Alex Ferguson to bring this Spanish teenager to Old Trafford. But, he surely will not pay £25million to Atletico Madrid. What do you think, will we be able to sign De Gea?
