The 23-year-old’s arrival surprised many in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, but the Dutch left-back has undoubtedly impressed during the limited game time he has thus far enjoyed this term.
Many believe that the Dutchman, who has thus far donned the jersey of the Red Devils in four games in all competition, has been given plenty of opportunities thus far, and the left-back has admitted that Sir Alex Ferguson has already handed him more game
time than his expectations.
In addition, the Dutchman has also added that the Scottish mentor sees him as the successor to the French left-back, who has been plying his trade at Old Trafford since the summer of 2006.
“I’ve already played a lot more than I expected. I train well and take my chances in the games that I play. At every club you must prove yourself again. My chances are coming. If not now, it will be next season – they see me as the successor to Evra”, Buttner
was quoted as saying to the media.
The highly talented defender, who initially started his career as a left-winger, went on to admit that the level of quality in the Dutch top flight is far inferior to the game played in the highest echelons of English football.
“I had no preparation at Vitesse and must get back up a level. But I think I am doing it. You have to manage to reach the level, it cannot compare with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753. Everything goes faster. The tempo is quicker and everyone is physically stronger”, Buttner
concluded.
The 23-year-old, who signed a contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until the end of the 2016/17 season, has thus far shown a lot of promise during his limited playing time, and it seems likely that he will become one of an integral figures in United
squad in the seasons to come.
