    Southampton's Jose Fonte, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's not everyday you get a win at Manchester United. The mental focus was massively important. We were under a lot of pressure in the first half and we knew we needed to do better. It was a tough game but it was a game in which we defended well, it was a fantastic performance."

    And here's confirmation that Southampton, who were playing the likes of Bristol Rovers and Carlisle United four years ago, are third in the Premier League table after a famous - yet thoroughly deserved - Old Trafford win.

    Something I never thought I would write - Manchester United did not have a single shot on target. Wow.

    Peter Collins:, external If Arsenal and Liverpool could shoot, Manchester United would be six points further down the table... a lot of work needed still.

    David Llloyd Edwards:, external Southampton are just not going away from the top four. Louis van Gaal looks unimpressed.

    Cameron Laws:, external Van Gaal needs to take blame for this. Poor team selection (far too negative) and even worse substitutes (every week).

    "I don't want to hear how bad Manchester United were, Southampton were great They were tactically immense and defensively solid. A well-deserved three points. What a fantastic performance and Southampton were disciplined throughout."

    Make no mistake, Manchester United were poor. But Southampton were excellent. Dogged, determined, courageous and...triumphant.

    "If Manchester United get a couple of central defenders in they could be real title contenders next season, but they are not going to do anything with this back line they've currently got."

    Wayne Rooney has a look of disdain as Southampton keeper Fraser Forster eats up a few more seconds. Southampton are deep in United territory. Surely United are on the brink of defeat?

    Four minutes for Southampton to hold on. Manchester United's last home defeat in the Premier League? Against Swansea City on the opening day of the season.

    Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van Der Sar tweets:, external Surely there will be a goal in the last 6 mins + extra time to get a least a draw at Old Trafford!!

    Eventful afternoon for Saints substitute Dusan Tadic. He's scored, been booked and now he's in the wars as he receives treatment following a crunching challenge.

    Five minutes added time.

    "I think the same old problems are showing for United defensively. Those three players at the back aren't good enough. They might be ok against a mid-table side, but against those at the top, they been shown to come up short.

    "But, lets talk how good Southampton have been. Defensively rigid and clinical in attack."

    Southampton are not settling for one goal. Forward they come and Graziano Pelle finds himself through on goal but can't keep his composure. The TV camera switches to former Manchester Untied manager Sir Alex Ferguson in the stand. He doesn't look happy!

    Corner to United. Wayne Rooney grabs the ball and quickly places it by the flag. He whips the ball into the danger area but Southampton deal with it with as much ease they have all afternoon.

    Five straight home league wins. Unbeaten since the opening day of the season at home in the league. Fortress Old Trafford is four minutes from crumbling.

    "Manchester United are pushing for the equaliser. Southampton have been absolutely brilliant, but it goes to show that for all the attacking options United have, their Plan B is long balls up to Marouane Fellaini."

    Marouane Fellaini to Juan Mata. Another chance for the Spaniard. But Mata fires wide once again.

    How costly will those two Juan Mata misses prove? Ronald Koeman is on the brink of a famous win over his Dutch compatriot Louis van Gaal. You wouldn't know it. Koeman hasn't budged from his seat and is showing little emotion.
