Andorra hope for respect from Man Utd's England star Rooney

Andorra defender Toni Lima hopes Manchester United's England star Wayne Rooney shows respect in this week's World Cup qualifier.

England's previous meetings with Andorra have been marred by brutal challenges and angry verbal exchanges. Lima reckons this is down to the lack of respect England show their opponents.

He added: "I hope they behave themselves the way they should - as a great team, with respect and good behaviour."

Lima clashed with Rooney in previous encounters and accused him of lacking discipline.

But he said: "It seems Rooney's behaviour has been more mature. He's profited from playing well. These are phases a player can go through and he seems a bit more sensible."
