Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier says fans shouldn't be down over the prospective sale of Morgan Schneiderlin.

The Frenchman is being linked with Manchester United and Arsenal.

Le Tissier said: "We paid about £1million for him back in 2008 so with a couple of promotions and another decent transfer fee it certainly represents another good return.

"I think Southampton have always been fair with players and not stood in their way when bigger clubs have met their valuation, which was shown last summer.

"Schneiderlin's case last summer was under exceptional circumstances as so many players had already left."
