Alexander Buttner insists he was a success at Manchester United because he won more Premier League titles than Steven Gerrard

Former Manchester United defender Alexander Buttner insists he was a success in the Premier League because he won more title medals than Steven Gerrard.

The left back made just 28 appearances for the Red Devils under Sir Alex Ferguson and David Moyes over two seasons before leaving for Dynamo Moscow in 2014.

However, despite failing to make an impact with United, the Dutchman claims the fact he won the Premier League title in 2013, a feat Gerrard failed to achieve during his time with Liverpool, proves he triumphed in England.
