A lack of respect between player and officials has been highlighted in recent weeks, but the Republic of Ireland defender revealed the United squad have been given guidance by manager Sir Alex Ferguson on the correct way to behave.

O'Shea said: "The manager has told us to avoid any incidents that may happen. We have to get on with it and leave the referee alone. That is his experience."

He added: "I think we all realised during the week that - with the Ashley Cole incident - you had to be very careful.

"The referees were probably thinking in their own minds that this was a good time to get the attention on the so-called lack of respect. The majority of players do give respect, though."

Ferguson said: "Our discipline record is very good, one of the best in the country. I feel we are a fair team."
