Uncapped Dutch defender Alexander Buttner completed his move from Vitesse Arnhem to Manchester United on Tuesday, signing a five-year contract with the Premier League club.
The 23-year-old left back becomes United's second recent Dutch acquisition following Robin van Persie's move from Arsenal last week.
Manager Alex Ferguson told the club's website (www.manutd.com): "Alexander is one of the best young left backs in Europe and we're delighted to sign him.
"He's someone we've been watching for a while now. He gives us some really exciting options in that position."
Buttner said: "Joining Manchester United is one of the best days of my life. It's a team I have admired for many years now and I can't wait to join my teammates and play my part in helping the club be successful."
The defender was a member of the preliminary Dutch squad for Euro 2012 but did not make the final cut.
