MANCHESTER UNITED title winner Alex Buttner has swapped the MLS for the Med – by joining Cyprus club Apollon Limassol.
The Dutch defender, 31, helped the Red Devils to their most recent Premier League crown in 2013.

He has now agreed a 16-month deal with Cypriot league leaders Apollon.
The Limassol club said: “Apollon Football Company Ltd announces the agreement in principle with Dutch footballer Alexander Buttner until May 2022.
“The agreement will be ratified with the descent of the footballer in Cyprus after having successfully completed the necessary medical examinations.”

Apollon hope the former United ace can inspire them to their first title since 2006.
The three-time national champions have also won the Cyprus Cup on nine occasions.
Last year, Buttner was named in SunSport’s worst ever Premier League XI after his flop Old Trafford spell.
