United are still keen on bringing Luke Shaw to Old Trafford – but will not pay over the odds for the Southampton left-back.

The Reds have already had one bid of £25m for the England star rejected but reports suggesting United had increased their valuation to £34m and submitted a new bid are thought to have been untrue.

Despite the fact that experienced No.3 Patrice Evra agreed a new 12-month deal at Old Trafford at the end of the season, pressure is growing on the Reds to land another challenger for the role now that Alex Buttner has agreed to join Dynamo Moscow.

The Russian club announced they have secured the Dutchman who United signed from Vitesse Arnhem two years ago.

“I want to play in the Champions League and win trophies,” Buttner said.

“Dynamo are building a very strong team and I am sure that we will be good enough to try and win the league title this season.

“This is my first time in Moscow and I will need time to adjust with my family.

“They flew out with me, so it would be easier to adapt.

“The training ground also has fantastic facilities. I am happy that I joined Dynamo.”

Buttner made 28 appearances for the Reds but never managed to oust Evra from the role despite saying that he was man of the match 14 times.

It was that claim, and the fact that Louis van Gaal had ignored that form for Holland, that convinced the 25-year-old he had no future under the Dutchman at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand is on the verge of a possible move to Queens Park Rangers.

The 35-year-old, who is on media duties at the World Cup in Brazil, was not offered a new Old Trafford contract and is now set to team up again with his old West Ham boss Harry Redknapp at Loftus Road.
