Man Utd flop scores goal of the season contender with incredible volley for new club

Former Manchester United defender Alexander Buttner scored one of the goals of the season with a stunning strike for Dutch outfit De Graafschap this week.

The left-back, a Red Devil between 2012 and 2014, signed a contract with the club earlier this season having left RKC Waalwijk. Buttner, 33, had enjoyed a bright start to life with De Graafschap having notched a goal and two assists in his first 11 appearances for the club.

He continued that excellent run with an eye-catching strike against Den Bosch on Friday. Having made a run down the left-flank, the ball was delivered to the defender in the 14th minute and he attempted an audacious left-footed effort despite being at least 30 yards out and close to the flank. The ball flew towards goal and over Den Bosch goalkeeper Wouter van der Steen into the back of the net.
