The self-styled man of the match 14 times (in 13 appearances!!) for United has signed for Dynamo Mosco, although one or two details need to be sorted.

Quote:Dynamo Moscow have signed Manchester United left-back Alexander Buttner for an undisclosed fee.
The Dutchman, 25, has already joined up with his new club, although some technical details need to be resolved before the contract is finalised.
Buttner joined United from Vitesse Arnhem in 2012 but made only 13 Premier League appearances in two seasons.

So, United secure their second big signing of the pre-season, with the acquisition of England international, Luke Shaw:

Quote:Manchester United is delighted to announce the signing of Luke Shaw from Southampton Football Club. He joins on a four-year contract with an option to extend for a further year.
Shaw, 18, recently gained his third cap for England and was the youngest player to feature in this year’s World Cup campaign. The left-back has made 67 appearances for Southampton since making his debut in 2012.

Luke Shaw said: "I am thrilled and excited to be joining Manchester United. I have been at Southampton since I was eight years old and I would like to thank them and the fans for everything they have done for me. I want to continue to progress my career and joining United is the ideal place for me to do that. I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life and also looking forward to learning from the world-class players and management at the club."

Manchester United assistant manager Ryan Giggs said: "Luke is a very talented young left-back with great potential. He has developed immensely during his time at Southampton and has all the attributes to become a top player. I am delighted he has joined Manchester United as I believe this is the right club for him to continue his development as a young player and eventually fulfil that promise."

Many of you might know the history of our beloved club, but for some of our newer members (and supporters), here is the first, brief instalment of the history of Manchester United Football Club.

MUFC were formed in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR Football Club by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath. The team initially played games against other departments and rail companies at their home ground at North Road, but by 1888 the club had become a founding member of The Combination, a regional football league.



However, following the league's dissolution before the end of its first season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed Football Alliance, which ran for three seasons before being merged with The Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892–93 season in the First Division, by which time it had become independent of the rail company, dropped the "LYR" from its name and moved to a new ground at Bank Street. After just two seasons, the club was relegated to the Second Division

In January 1902, with debts of £2,670 – equivalent to £250,000 as of 201 – the club was served with a winding-up order. Captain Harry Stafford found four local businessmen – including John Henry Davies, who became club president – each willing to invest £500 in return for a direct interest in running the club. As a mark of this fresh start, on 24 April 1902, the club's name was changed to "Manchester United".

So, that is really only the potted history of our great club. Watch this thread for more history, in more detail.
