Le Tissier, who scored 100 goals in 270 top-flight appearances for Saints, said: “With the cost of living crisis that we’ve got going on in this country at the moment, with the train services, it’s really difficult for fans to get to and from these away games.

“And I think The Midnite Express initiative of putting coaches on for the fans to get up to Sheffield United is absolutely brilliant.

“I’ve never been to an away game on an official coach with loads of other Saints fans, so I’m really looking forward to it and looking forward to engaging with the fans on the bus.

“I’m sure we’ll have a good laugh and we’ll have an interesting journey, that’s for sure!”

Andrew Mook, Head of Brand Marketing at Midnite, added: “We’re absolutely delighted to launch The Midnite Express and to be able to offer Southampton supporters free coach travel to and from our principal partner, Sheffield United.

“It’s hugely exciting for us to support the fans in this way and to give them the chance to follow their team without worrying about transport costs for a long midweek journey. It means more Saints fans can focus purely on supporting their team.

“We hope this makes the journey feel a lot closer, and the matchday even more special.”
