I've actually got a pretty good felling about this guy, it's just a shame that so many people fail to rate him because a) he didn't cost 10m or more AND/OR b) they've never played with him on FM/FIFA

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Not to mention that chelsea and city never showed any interest in him :lolI've actually got a pretty good felling about this guy, it's just a shame that so many people fail to rate him because a) he didn't cost 10m or more AND/OR b) they've never played with him on FM/FIFA
Never seen him play. I'd like to see him play the next game. Still young, so there is a learning curve. Hopefully he'll turn out another great buy
When asked what he would like to achieve at United he said he hope to give many crosses.
He must have seen Evra play then.
I like that answer. Look after the small things and the big things will come.
I'll be honest I know nothing of this guy more than a 4 minute you tube video, and I'm all researched out after Kagawa this year so I'll just wait and see what he's like. Hopefully he can give Evra some real competition and force his way onto the starting line up some times.
I know right? I haven't been as excited about us signing a player since Rooney got signed, and I'm sure he'll turn out to be a world-beater (certainly looks like it), but in all honesty it was exhausting the whole Kagawa transfer saga. I will admit to being at fault myself for this, since nobody made me do anything, but yeah, Kagawa (and RvP, Powell, Henriquez, Buttner) and not to mention all of the bullshit rumours, this summer was quite exhausting.
Sometimes I don't know how the likes of Gambit does it. The stamina those guys have to muppet for 6 months every year solid is to be applauded.
I never checked, did Gambit endorse this transfer yet??

Looked like he was heart broken in that press conference tbf. Serious fecker!
Know nothing about him, but have this weird feeling that he will be a hit.

More importantly -has FriendlyTramp confirmed it?
I like him already.
Pardon my ignorance, but why?
He's a Liverpool fan.
Buttner?!
Judging by the way Gill was glancing at him during signing meeting it's a good thing he isn't arse broken.
He looked a bit nervous about his English.
He's probably seen the McClaren jokes.
He just looked a bit nervous you heartless bastards!
He just did not look happy. Looked nervous or angry or something. Not saying he wasn't happy, he just talked like someone had just died.
Pressers. Serious Business.
Was interesting to see from his YouTube video how he was penalty taker, and not for a gimme penalty but when his team was 2-1 down, and he fairly hammered it top corner very well taken. That a 22yr old fullback or potentially younger when this took place was given the penalty to take is quite unusual.
Was this guy not part of the Euro squad? They had severe issues at LB and used a teenager there. Would think this player should have got a look by now, right?
He might just have a right foot too
I like how his name on the back of the shirt has a smiley face
He's very young, he's got plenty of time - and might give Evra a kick up his arse. Competition only can help. I'm just a bit worried that he likes to come so much 
I like that he calls United Manchester. Winning a trophy doesn't change the fact there's only one team in Manchester. And, uh, he likes to come?
I like him. Just something about this transfer makes me think he'll be a success.
Looks decent in the Youtube clip but then that is worse than MOTD for highlights making it look good. Evra was shocking at times last season, defence wise, left us open so many times so this can only be good.
If we're going to throw out predictions based on very little I'll just come out and say it I reckon he's going to be shit....well maybe not shit but maybe De Laet kind of shit so not a bad player but no where near good enough for us
When I saw the choice at left back today I thought "I can't believe it's not Buttner".
I'll get me coat.
I'll get me coat.
nice. professional?
if he is going to be a de laet kind of shit then he is going to be shit unfortunately. de laet was never going to break into our first team when he was here, not even close.
i expect him to do better than becoming another de laet.
Well he seems to have given Evra a bit of a kick up the arse at least, made him step up his game. I'm actually looking forward to seeing him though, on his debut in Football manager he scored in an 8-0 win for me so I expect no less 
There's a Delight v Butter joke in here somewhere, but I can't be arsed figuring it out. More surprisingly, I can't find a single photo of a tub of Delight on the internet...
How about a 'What what in the Buttner' song?
Irrelevant because Fabio is out on loan. We needed a Left FB for depth and with Evra getting up there we'll need more than just Fabio anyway in a few years time.
What does he say at 1:36? I'm 22 years old, left back, i like to come?
Apparently his family are travelers and are bringing like 200 to Old Trafford.
