Alex Buttner seems set to leave Manchester United after claiming he has no future under new manager Louis van Gaal.

The 25-year-old claims he's been ignored by Netherlands coach Van Gaal during his two years in charge of the Dutch team - despite being named United's man-of-the-match '14 times'.

Buttner, who has made 23 starts since arriving from Vitesse Arnhem in 2012, is expected to join Dynamo Moscow this week.

Buttner said: “Van Gaal never gave me the chance in the Dutch national team, despite being voted man of the match 14 times at Manchester United.

“Apparently, he is not very confident about me. So I think this is the right moment to leave."

Buttner's agent Alexander Bursac insists the left-back was forced to look for a move away after Patrice Evra signed a new contract and United launched a bid for Southampton full-back Luke Shaw.

Bursac said: "Dynamo Moscow has great plans for the future and they want to challenge for the title.

"To stay at Manchester United was not an option for Buttner.

"In the past two years, Louis van Gaal has ignored Buttner time after time. So what kind of perspective does he have when Van Gaal becomes his new club coach?

"Patrice Evra signed a new contract and with Luke Shaw they want to buy another player for Buttner's position."
