No need to panic, insists Buttner

DEFENDER Alexander Buttner insists there is no crisis at Manchester United.

A troublesome start to David Moyes’ tenure took a sharp downturn on Saturday as West Brom recorded their first win at Old Trafford since 1978.

It was United’s third loss in six games - their worst start in the league since 1989.

Yet Buttner is adamant there is no need to panic: “I don’t think it is a crisis,” said the Dutch defender.

“Of course the crowd want to see Manchester United winning – the players want that too.”

“You always have to trust the players,” said Buttner. “I think we can do this as a team. Our season starts here. We are going to win games, I am sure about that.”

For the second week running United now head into a tricky cup tie – Wednesday’s Champions League trip to Shakhtar Donetsk.
