BUTTNER HAS IMPRESSED

The defender of Manchester United, Patrice Evra, has said that the United’s new signing Alexander Buttner is a good left back and he would have to face a tough competition from this young lad for a place in the starting line up.

Buttner has signed for United this summer after leaving Vitesse. The 24 years Old Dutch defender was given the opportunity to play his first match in the Premier League against Wigan Athletic a few days back.

Buttner managed to make a mark in his very first Premier League match. He scored a goal in that match and he also set up a goal for the team. Manchester United thrashed Wigan by 4-0 in that match.

When asked about Buttner, Evra said, “Buttner is definitely a bright prospect. He is a fine, young player and his performance against Wigan was impressive. He played with a lot of confidence in his first match which was nice to see.”

“I am happy that Sir Alex Ferguson has brought such a talented defender in the club. It’s true that I will have to fight hard for the first XI spot. But, it’s not a bad thing for a player. Perhaps, it will inspire me to play better.”

“I am pretty hopeful to be included in the starting line up in the upcoming Premier League matches, but, I will have to be at my best in those matches, otherwise, it will get tougher for me to get starting opportunities”.

Evra looked pretty happy about United’s victory over Liverpool at Anfield two days back. The French international said, “That was a great victory. It was a close game and the Liverpool boys gave us a tough fight, but, we held our nerves towards the end and managed to continue our winning streak.”
