They can't keep up this pressing for 90 minutes surely.

They'll probably look to press for 60 minutes, then hope they're either winning or drawing and sit back for the last half hour.
 
They played like this last year and Fergie said it was the best team performance against us at Old Trafford last season.
 
Expected Southampton to press but they've been everywhere so far. We've looked dangerous when we have got into their half though.
 
Don't like how deep we are, not just this game either. With Evans as jones we an afford to move further up the pitch.
 
What's that chant? To the tune of 'we want our trophy back'...

Sounds like

"This is the *something*"

This is one of the reasons their pressing works so well: The man on the ball for Man Utd has no obvious options for a lay off 9 times out of 10. The three lines are too far from each other. Defence, midfield and attack are rigidly seperate like on a fussball table. We need to push up and make the pitch tighter.
 
I see...I take it either the Saints fans are taking the piss, or the Stretty is trying to get everyone else singing.

It's the Southampton fans. It's a common chant of away fans mocking a quiet atmosphere.
 
Great play. Shame.
