Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck has said that has rejected former boss David Moyes' claims that he did not trained hard enough, saying that he has always been professional.
Moyes, who was sacked from his post United boss in April, had said in December last year that he had to tell Welbeck to put in extra training.
According to the BBC, Welbeck, who is part of Roy Hodgson's 23-man England squad for the World Cup in Brazil, said that he was honestly pretty 'surprised' with the Scot's statement. Adding that before Moyes made that statement he had been doing extra training.
Welbeck, who scored 11 goals in 24 United starts last season but had scored even more goals for England national team in 2012-13, said that he has grown up at the club and been professional all through his career and always does extra work.
The England international also said that it is born and bred in him to do extra work after training and maybe Moyes was not seeing that extra stuff, adding that he had also been doing extras in the gym and on the pitch.
Moyes had said of Welbeck in December that he needs to be out there every day finishing, even if it was 15 minutes at the end.
